A Case For Action
In today’s hard-nosed world—especially the numbers-based realm of business and
today’s tough economic times—it’s easy to dismiss happiness as an unimportant
luxury and a time-waster that saps our energies and drains bottom lines. Reality,
however, is just the opposite. A positive approach positively affects bottom lines,
whether in the boardroom, classroom, or at home. And lack of happiness exacts
its financial toll. Consider some of the numbers:
Working mothers have plenty of company. Nearly 25.7 million
mothers with children under 18 were part of the U.S. workforce
in 2007. That’s nearly double the number in 1975, according to estimates from the
U.S. Bureau of Labors Statistics and the Census Bureau’s monthly Current
Population Survey.
What Happy Working Mothers Know
• U.S. businesses lose more than $300 billion annually due to employee stress as
manifested by increased absenteeism, employee turnover, diminished
productivity, medical, legal, and insurance expenses, and workers’ compensation
payments. Put into perspective, that’s 10 times the cost of all workplace strikes
combined.
• A big chunk of that stress, and therefore cost, is a result of less productive
working parents worried about what their children are doing after school,
according to a 2006 study from the Women’s Studies Research Center at
Brandeis University and Catalyst, a leading nonprofit research and advisory
organization.
• Worker fatigue more common in women than men costs employers about $136
billion-plus a year in health related lost productivity, according to a 2007 study
from the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

What’s it about?
What Happy Working Mothers Know is all about how you can be
the best mother and best worker possible by investing in your own
happiness. You can learn to find happiness no matter where you are in
your life, how overwrought, how overwhelmed, or how unhappy you
are. Even if you’re already happy, you can learn how to make that
happiness last even when things don’t go smoothly. We’ll show you a
few simple steps to take, ways to shift your attitudes and approaches,
and techniques to find happiness in the life you have rather than the
life you wish you had. By realizing your happiness, you’ll be a better
parent, better spouse, better employee/boss, better person, and feel
better about yourself, too.
