Biographical Note: "I'm so impressed with the Fair Play handbook. Not only did Eve break down every task that a couple is responsible for, but she managed to create a system where dividing those tasks is fun, insightful and gratifying. Her approach is filled with love, humor, wisdom and the idea that if we can work together and acknowledge each other's strengths and weaknesses, we can build better, stronger, and longer lasting relationships." --Reese Witherspoon " Fair Play is a game-changing guide to reclaiming more time in our lives by dividing domestic work in a deceptively simple new way. As Eve Rodsky explains, the key is for each partner to take on the entirety of each task on their to-do list--from conception to planning to execution--to avoid the mental load falling on women and the conflicts that typically arise in a relationship. The Fair Play system of dealing virtual 'cards' to share the work it takes to run a household is revolutionary and can help you succeed and truly thrive in all aspects of your life!" --Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive Global "There are three 'people' in every busy relationship: Person A, Person B, and the system that governs them. When things feel overwhelming, most people point at themselves or their partner to explain it, but more often than not the system itself is the problem. This is brilliantly illustrated in Fair Play, where Eve Rodsky makes the existing system visible and provides a clear path to build a new one that enables readers to focus on what their family values most." --Greg McKeown, author of Essentialism "If your family is struggling to achieve a happy division of household labor, read this book. Fair Play offers practical tools for maximizing peace and minimizing resentment--while freeing up all parties to pursue their best lives." --Laura Vanderkam, author of I Know How She Does It and Juliet's School of Possibilities "Being a parent is hard; maintaining a happy marriage when children are young is even harder. Rodsky comes to the rescue for these rocky years! Fair Play is what every busy parent needs to shed resentment, move beyond blame, and reconnect with each other. By easing the home burdens and working collaboratively, parents will find the key to a happier marriage and more family joy." --Tovah Klein, PhD, director of the Barnard Center for Toddler Development and author of How Toddlers Thrive "Eve Rodsky tackles the division of housework - a major source of conflict within many marriages--with a refreshingly clear, workable set of solutions that both partners can embrace." --Darby Saxbe, PhD, associate professor of psychology, University of Southern California "Eve Rodsky has created a new language and fresh conversation around the topic of doing it all, stressing out and losing ourselves and relationships in the process. Every page of this book has a take-away, a new idea of approaching a topic that has plagued parents for decades and has needed a plan." --Sheryl Ziegler, MD, author of Mommy Burnout " Fair Play gives us permission to create our own values that introduce equity into our households, creating an equitable shift in domestic workload, and setting examples for our children: that is the revolution. Imagine what could be different about you, your relationships and the world, if we collectively decided to play fair." --Alexis Jemal, JD, LCSW, assistant professor, Silberman School of Social Work, Hunter College "I just want to thank Eve Rodsky, brave woman, for taking on the mental load...of solving the mental load. Fair Play isn't just a great idea...it's going to change cultural norms so that women can have equity at home and equality in the workplace. Yes, better division of laundry can help solve the pay gap!" --Lauren Brody, author of The Fifth Trimester Brief Description: Includes an author Q&A and discussion questions. Reading Line: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Publisher Marketing: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK Tired, stressed, and in need of more help from your partner? Imagine running your household (and life!) in a new way... It started with the Sh*t I Do List. Tired of being the "shefault" parent responsible for all aspects of her busy household, Eve Rodsky counted up all the unpaid, invisible work she was doing for her family--and then sent that list to her husband, asking for things to change. His response was...underwhelming. Rodsky realized that simply identifying the issue of unequal labor on the home front wasn't enough: She needed a solution to this universal problem. Her sanity, identity, career, and marriage depended on it. The result is Fair Play a time- and anxiety-saving system that offers couples a completely new way to divvy up domestic responsibilities. Rodsky interviewed more than five hundred men and women from all walks of life to figure out what the invisible work in a family actually entails and how to get it all done efficiently. With 4 easy-to-follow rules, 100 household tasks, and a series of conversation starters for you and your partner, Fair Play helps you prioritize what's important to your family and who should take the lead on every chore, from laundry to homework to dinner. "Winning" this game means rebalancing your home life, reigniting your relationship with your significant other, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space--the time to develop the skills and passions that keep you interested and interesting. Stop drowning in to-dos and lose some of that invisible workload that's pulling you down. Are you ready to try Fair Play? Let's deal you in. |
