Book ID/图书代码： 01240010B37964
English Summary/英文概要： Through twenty-five years of working with mothers, Dr. Meg Meeker has found that American mothers suffer from a steadily rising pressure to excel in too many areas of their lives and their emotional, physical, mental and spiritual health is suffering. Millions of mothers are lonelier, more anxious, more depressed and suffer from poor self-esteem than ever before. The past two decades have ushered in extraordinary opportunities for mothers, yet mothers universally refuse to let themselves "off the hook" in any areas of their lives. Mothers feel they must raise extraordinary kids who will set the world on fire, stay in superb fitness, look gorgeous, make good salaries, get promotions at work and be good wives. And if they are single mothers, they feel they must do double duty by being all of the above and substitute for dad, too. Mothers everywhere feel ready to buckle. They need help, and that is exactly what Dr. Meeker offers. Regardless of their financial or marital situation, Dr. Meeker teaches mothers to embrace new emotional habits, teaching mothers how to give and get more love, understand their value as mothers, reconcile their struggles with money, learn to utilize a spiritual faith and live boldly and deliberately, and much more.
Here’s the topics, and chapters Dr. Meeker covers:
* Find Time for Solitude
* Identify the Real Value of Money
* Stop Self-Sabotage and Self-Criticism
* Find Ways to Simplify, Inside and Outside
* Give and Get Love in Healthy Ways
* Value and Practice Faith
* Find Your Friendship Tribe
* Let Go of Fear
* Hope is a Decision - So Make It!

Awards/获奖情况：Arguing that many moms have gone overboard in their quest for perfection, the Michigan-based pediatrician and mother of four presents 10 "new habits" that will help moms maintain their passion, purpose, and sanity. In separate chapters, Meeker addresses understanding your value as a mother, maintaining key friendships, valuing and practicing faith, saying no to competition, creating a healthier relationship with money, making time for solitude, giving and getting love in healthy ways, finding ways to live simply, letting go of fear, and embracing hope. Meeker urges mothers to dig deep to find their life’s purpose, rejecting cute but superficial one-liners such as "I’m here to drive my kids around." Though she claims to be "a scientist at heart," Meeker, a Christian, waxes philosophical on many issues, including the importance of faith and spirituality. She also urges moms to seek solitude and live more simply while rejecting such "toxic" cultural messages as being thinner, looking hot, and making more money. Readers in search of tips on how to help their kids excel won’t find them here; this is a sincere and thoughtful discussion of what really matters in a mother’s life. (Mar.) ---From Publishers Weekly The author of Strong Fathers, Stronger Daughters (2006) now looks at mothers who seem to handle the demands of parenting, work, and home with greater happiness. Using her own personal experiences and those of her friends and women she has come across in her travels, Meeker outlines the 10 habits that fulfilled mothers share, which include maintaining important friendships, eschewing competition, practicing faith, and living more simply. Though Meeker is a medical doctor, a pediatrician, she doesn’t delve much into medical research about happiness or depression but rather relies on the anecdotal evidence she’s accumulated. While parenting books abound, few focus on the mother’s well-being, so Meeker’s book will be welcomed. Her traditional view of family and gender roles may be off-putting to some readers, but Meeker is a popular speaker and radio guest, whom many readers will know and trust. ---Aleksandra Walker, From Booklist
