"In this motivational handbook--both a business how-to and self-help guide--the New York Times bestselling author of Dot Complicated takes on the fallacy of the 'well-balanced' life, arguing that the key to success is learning to be well-lopsided"--Publisher's annotation.

"Work. Sleep. Family. Fitness. Friends. Pick three. In an increasingly demanding world, we've been told that we can do it all--maintain close friendships, devote ourselves to work, spend time with family, stay fit, and get enough sleep. But who can do everything--and do it well--every day? Imagine eliminating the pressure to be perfect. Now you can achieve balance over weeks and years. Randi Zuckerberg has the solution: Pick Three. Career and family-minded people everywhere understand the basic problem: Everyone wants to be able to do it all--work, sleep, family, fitness, and friends--but there are only twenty-four hours in a day. Now, in Pick Three, Randi encourages others to follow her lead to be 'well-lopsided,' a term she says has saved her life. Between having her own radio show, starring on Broadway, speaking across the globe, creating Facebook Live, and being the mother to two young boys, Randi has a lot on her plate. But, Randi explains, you don't have to focus on each of the five areas every day--more important, you can't!--but you can prioritize them individually over time. And, if you choose three each day, you can go a long way toward personal and professional success and satisfaction. In Pick Three, Randi dives deep into each of the five categories, revealing anecdotes from her own life and from experts in each field to help you figure out which categories you're choosing (or not choosing!) and why. Including stories from Randi's impressive career, as well as engaging interviews from Olympic athletes, medical professionals, media moguls, seasoned Silicon Valley leaders, and even her own mother, Karen Zuckerberg, who left her medical career to start a family, this practical handbook proves that there is a way to manage all the tensions we face each day. Featuring an entire workbook section and a calendar to inspire a well-lopsided life, Pick Three is the ultimate guide to helping anyone from experienced entrepreneurs to emerging professionals to active parents to busy students-reject the unrealistic burden of balance and enjoy success on their own terms. Because you can have it all, if you just Pick Three."--Dust jacket.
