Synopses & Reviews
As the co-host of MSNBCandrsquo;s popular morning show Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski has established herself a leading political news journalist and beloved television personality. She daily interviews world leadersandmdash;Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCainandmdash;and discusses the major events of the day withand#160; guests like Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, Andrea Mitchell, Chris Matthews, Maureen Dowd, and Tom Friedman.
But success hasnandrsquo;t always come easy for Mika. Growing up the only daughter of a former National Security Advisor, she struggled to find an identity in a family of over-achievers. She found her dream job early on and was hailed as the andldquo;It Girlandrdquo; of CBS, only to be fired just a few short years later. After an unsuccessful stint as a stay-at-home mom, Mika went back to the workplace with encouragement from her 8-year-old daughter. She took a job that seemed a long-shot at best, and against all odds achieved the greatest success of her career. Now, in a time when many women are losing their jobs or struggling to find the perfect balance between work and home, Mika guides women of all ages to a place where they can find peace and fulfillment in their lives.
All Things at Once is a motivational book aimed at women, based on Mikaandrsquo;s own personal and professional triumphs and failuresandmdash;all of which have led her to her current position as one of televisionandrsquo;s most outspoken and respected journalists. Blending the personal with the prescriptive, Brzezinskiandrsquo;s book will address the perpetual question of andldquo;having it allandrdquo; when it comes to work and family; the importance of remaining equally humble in the face of great success and seemingly devastating setbacks; as well as the necessity of knowing and embracing our limitations so that we may transcend them.
In the tradition of Gail Sheehyandrsquo;s classic Passages, this illuminating book shows women how to reach their full potential in all areas of life, and at every stage of their journey. Readers will recognize their friends, their mothers, their daughters, and themselves in this refreshingly honest memoir.
