Drop the ball : achieving more by doing less / by Dufu, Tiffany,author.; Steinem, Gloria,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A bold and inspiring memoir and manifesto from a renowned voice in the women's leadership movement who shows women how to cultivate the single skill they really need in order to thrive: the ability to let go. Once the poster girl for doing it all, after she had her first child, Tiffany Dufu struggled to accomplish everything she thought she needed to in order to succeed. Like so many driven and talented women who have been brought up to believe that to have it all, they must do it all, Dufu began to feel that achieving her career and personal goals was an impossibility. Eventually, she discovered the solution: letting go. In Drop the Ball, Dufu recounts how she learned to reevaluate expectations, shrink her to-do list, and meaningfully engage the assistance of others--freeing the space she needed to flourish at work and to develop deeper, more meaningful relationships at home. Even though women are half the workforce, they still represent only eighteen per cent of the highest level leaders. The reasons are obvious: just as women reach middle management they are also starting families. Mounting responsibilities at work and home leave them with no bandwidth to do what will most lead to their success. Offering new perspective on why the women's leadership movement has stalled, and packed with actionable advice, Tiffany Dufu's Drop the Ball urges women to embrace imperfection, to expect less of themselves and more from others--only then can they focus on what they truly care about, devote the necessary energy to achieving their real goals, and create the type of rich, rewarding life we all desire"--

Unmasking for life : the autistic person's guide to connecting, loving, and living authentically / by Price, Devon,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Most masked Autistics have spent a lifetime being told how to perform neurotypically: how to behave, how to carry themselves, what to feel, and how to live. With his previous book, Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price has given them the space and tools to unmask and embrace their neurodiversity. But no matter where you are in the unmasking process, there is still work to be done. Because Autistic people often fear change, struggle to process unfamiliar situations, and have trauma histories that have conditioned them to avoid conflict, they don't always know how to transform their inner revelations into outer realities. They need more than internal healing -- they need practical tools to translate acceptance into assertiveness and interpersonal effectiveness. Enter Unmasking for Life, which provides the resources to help you advocate for your needs and invent new ways of living, loving, and being that work with your disability rather than against it. You'll learn how to develop five key skills for building authentic relationships and living unmasked: Acceptance of change, loss, and uncertainty; Engagement in productive conflict, discussion, and disagreement; Transgression of unfair rules, demands, and social expectations; Tolerance of distress, disagreement, or being disliked; Creation of new accommodations, relationship structures, and new ways of living. Unmasking for Life will help validate and support you so you can move beyond unmasking your Autism and begin unmasking your world"--
