HBR Working Parents Series Collection (3 Books) (HBR Working Parents Series)

Work and family life do not arrive in separate, neatly scheduled shifts. The HBR Working Parents Series Collection brings together three focused books on the decisions, routines, and personal demands that shape working parenthood.

Across Managing Your Career, Getting It All Done, and Taking Care of Yourself, Harvard Business Review gathers practical guidance, stories, and research for navigating professional ambitions alongside family responsibilities. The emphasis is not on a single formula for “having it all,” but on finding approaches that fit your priorities and circumstances.

Three books, three connected challenges

• Managing Your Career: Consider career direction and professional choices with family life in view.
• Getting It All Done: Explore ways to manage the demands and details of work and home.
• Taking Care of Yourself: Make personal needs and well-being part of the wider conversation about working parenthood.

Practical perspective for work and home

The collection looks at both immediate pressures and longer-term questions: how to handle a crowded schedule, make choices aligned with what matters, and think about the tradeoffs that come with balancing work and family. Its advice is designed to support reflection and decision-making, rather than promise one perfect solution for every household.

For working parents at different stages

Parents facing a new family routine, weighing a career opportunity, or trying to make everyday responsibilities more manageable may find relevant perspectives here. With Daisy Dowling as series editor and contributions from experts including Stewart D. Friedman, Whitney Johnson, and Bruce Feiler, this collection offers three complementary entry points into the realities of working parenthood.
