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. This book asks the question: What would it look like if we stopped assuming the problems in women’s lives are caused by women’s choices, and started looking instead at the structural, economic, and biological factors that are forcing and constraining those choices in the first place? And what if, in doing so, we could learn to negotiate new deals that don’t leave us feeling so depleted? In the same way that behavioral psychologists like Daniel Kahneman and Dan Ariely have sought to understand the hidden factors and biases that cause people to make mistakes at the bank or the grocery store, economist Corinne Low investigates how the most significant decisions in women’s lives are shaped by overlooked internal and external factors. The result is a book that offers readers a guide to getting the best deal for their lives and careers in a world full of constraints. It is also a call to action for firms, policymakers, and anyone else with an iota of power to get to work on the tough job of changing these constraints instead of the easier one we seem to default to: criticizing women. This book is not about optimizing. Women are already optimized. Consider it the essential economic textbook for life as a woman—but hopefully, a little more fun.
