Having It All

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

What if you had a playbook for navigating life as a woman—the career decisions, the relationship questions, and the tradeoffs no one talks about? Whether you’re building your career or building your family (or both), this book gives you the data and the tools to get a better deal at work and at home.

Women today face impossible choices about careers, relationships, money, and time. And most of us are navigating them without a framework, a script, or even the full picture of what we’re up against. This book gives you all three.

In Having It All, Wharton economist Dr. Corinne Low explains how the system actually works—and gives you the tools to make it work for you. First, she breaks down the data on what’s really happening to women at work and at home. Then she offers a clear framework, practical scripts, and strategies you can use at any stage of life.

Inside, you’ll learn:
• Word-for-word scripts for asking for a raise, renegotiating with your partner, and setting boundaries
• Why women negotiate differently than men—and how to use it to your advantage
• A framework for career decisions: when to push and when to pivot to get more than you give from your job
• How to evaluate whether your relationship is a good deal, or ask better questions on your third date to find one that is
• How to structure your time, money, and energy around what you value

Dr. Low blends rigorous research with personal experience, including her own story of burning out as a working mother and rebuilding her life on her own terms.

In the tradition of Fair Play and Cribsheet, consider it the guide to life as a woman that no one gave you—backed by data, loaded with scripts, and actually fun to read.
