Life beyond the old measures
The Domestic Mind After the Scoreboard
Stories and essays about capable adults colliding with family life
What happens when the habits that made adults effective at work collide with the less measurable demands of family life? These twenty-three stories and essays follow capable people through household systems, parenting, education, wellbeing advice and technological change. The humour comes from the gap between an orderly plan and the people expected to live inside it. The collection includes speculative scenarios as well as observations of everyday life.
For adult readers interested in work, parenthood and family life.
