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.

Inspiration for The Deck of Life emerged from my clinical observations of patients in my practice of dermatology and internal medicine. I became increasingly aware of the connection between the genetic code as it relates to body build, temperament, and disease predisposition. It was further observed that these factors were influenced by the patient's "belief system" as it relates to personal characteristics, behavior, and reactions to life's situations. This book explores this unique relationship and our inherent ability to alter these features. It confirms the truth that we have a choice and an unlimited capacity to live a life stress free, with peace, happiness and longevity. In the pages of this enlightening book the reader is guided to discover his dominate and sub-dominate temperament. A better understanding of ourselves enables us to "play a winning hand" with the cards you're dealt in life. Consequently we will make decisions more wisely in the areas of health, career choice, choosing a mate, child-rearing, and the day-to-day communications and enjoyment of the people in our lives.
