Based on years of in-the-field research and two gender-based studies, Maike Ingrid Philipsen and Timothy Bostic give the issue of work-life balance a fresh perspective by taking a comparative approach to the topic in regard to both gender and career stage. The authors' research reports on the experiences of male and female faculty at early-, mid-, and late-career stages. In addition, the book goes beyond the typical \"family-friendly\" approach and takes an all-encompassing \"life-friendly\" view, recognizing the need to strive for balance in the lives of all faculty members.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhilipsen and Bostic describe enablers and obstacles that faculty encounter during their careers and how policies and programs might more effectively address the needs of faculty. Helping Faculty Find Work-Life Balance is filled with illustrative cases from exemplary institutions to showcase what they are doing to reform the system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePraise for Helping Faculty Find Work-Life Balance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"As a junior faculty member and father of three, I know that balancing family and work can be a significant challenge.
