5 out of 5 stars At Last -- A book that understands!   March 31, 2000
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

I've been working at home for 5 years and read my share of books on how to do it efficiently and happily. This is the best book yet on explaining the emotional issues that come up and how to cope with them. It was very, very helpful to me; I've modified the way I structure my day in response to suggestions in the book and now I frequently get more done AND feel less stressed.
