Off Balance: Getting Beyond the Work-Life Balance Myth to Personal and Professional Satisfaction Paperback – July 5, 2015

Another excellent Matthew Kelly book. I can’t imagine anyone who would not learn valuable life lessons from reading it. Highly recommended.

I bought one for my daughter in law. She has gone back to work after being a stay at home mom of three kids.She mentioned to me that she was trying to find a balance in her life.I saw the book on amazon and decided to send it to her. I figured she would like as Matthew Kelly is one of our favorite authors.Then I thought "why not read it myself so we could share our thoughts".Wow, it was a great mind blower. I'm retired and thought it would not apply to me, wrong, I've gotten so much from it.It is well worth reading. It seemed to start slow but then it really took off.

Practical, realistic and life changing.Can’t wait to start using the information asap.Thank you, Matthew for writing this book.

This book was everything it says it will be. I have provided over 10 copies (so far) and will continue to provide copies to small business owners that are looking to find satisfaction in their life. The focus is not on work/life balance, rather finding joy in all you do and being intentional about your decisions.The book has changed the way that my business partner and I approach our employee relationships to ensure they also find satisfaction both at home and at the office. One bleeds into the other. I would recommend this book to anyone that is looking to determine what "balance" means in their life. I could not be happier with my purchase.

Another simple and practical book that can improve your personal and professional life. I read everything Matthew writes and I’m never disappointed.

Eh, did not do much for me. I was disappointed. I read instead "168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think", which helped me a lot more.This was meh. I did not get anything from it that helped me. I am a working mother with a big career. Wasn't the book I was hoping for.

I appreciated the approach advocated toward thinking differently about your work and not having to find an unachievable ongoing balance but instead trying to create conditions that allow you to move through variations of intensity between the personal and professional with attention given to reflection and adjusting behavior with intention to be present what your situation requires from you in the moment.

I've finished reading this book and taken a lot of notes, particularly about the system that Matthew proposes.I was excited just by reading the book about what may lay ahead, even more so when I work through his system.I would recommend this book to anyone, particularly in management (mid-level and senior/executive management) so that they may recognise what may be missing in their organisation and their people and develop strategies that may reinvigorate every aspect of the organisation and its people.A great read.
