Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Thriving In 24/7
Sally Helgesen · 2001
68/100
👎 Skip It
Sally Helgesen was genuinely ahead of her time identifying the collapse of work-life boundaries in networked economies, and the six-strategy framework earned endorsements from Stephen Covey and Tom Peters for good reason. Published in 2001, though, it predates smartphones, remote work, and the pandemic's permanent reshaping of working life — readers today will need to mentally translate heavily, and newer books on the same terrain have had two more decades of evidence to draw from.
