Helpful Score: 3

This book was required reading for a class that I'm taking. I had just had my son a few weeks before I started reading it and would not recommend this time line to others. The book presents some alarming information in a sensational and loosely empirical fashion, and I found myself vulnerable to these tactics.
Outside of these personal variables, I found the book to be informative and cautionary. The authors use some questionable tactics to advance what is in my opinion a positive agenda - that of extended and better-compensated family leaves in the U.S. workplace. Sometimes, however, they go a bit overboard with the tactics. An interesting read with solid take-home message if you can tune out the alarm bells.
