Mothers occupy one of the top two spots on the short list of leader role modelsway ahead of political leaders, business leaders, community leaders, and military leaders. Thats why its so vitally important that working mothers focus not just on their career success, but also on their happiness. Their moods are contagiousat home and at workand when moms can radiate great joy wherever they are, it will go a long way to developing positive and productive people.

Philips is very proud to have been an early supporter and part of the research for this book. As a global leader in our industries, we understand the power of a diverse workforce but it is not always easy to harness that power. The research that Greenberg and Avigdor have done has given us insights into new ways to tap into the incredible energy and strength of working mothers in our workforce.
Anne LeGrand, CEO Ultrasound, Philips Healthcare
I have the privilege of working with hundreds of women year after year and I am thrilled to see What Happy Working Mothers Know touch on such an important topic. Women tend to focus on the what they are (mother, daughter, sister, leader, coworker, friend) but not always the how (happy, fulfilled, joyous, passionate) Adding the concept of happiness and contentment to the equation of being a working woman is a life changer. To focus on creating contentment, abundance, and richness of spirit in the work of motherhood is not what women instinctively learn. Women are taught to sacrifice, put themselves last, and to do for everyone else. This book reminds all of us to make the happiness decision, to choose the how our life will look and feel. Bravo!
Grace Killelea, VP of Talent and Leadership Initiatives, Comcast
