REVIEW:
In her second year as cohost of MSNBC's Morning Joe, TV news veteran Brzezinski is on fire, after enduring her share of professional setbacks and personal hardships. In this straightforward, frank account of her career trajectory, Brzezinski, the daughter of President Carter's national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, does not bother to disguise her hard-fought ambition to secure a top news anchor position or hide the fact that she is not satisfied (nor very good at) being a stay-at-home mom of two daughters. From the beginning of her TV career, working her way up at local affiliates in Hartford, to her big break, getting hired in 1997 for an overnight CBS network anchor program in New York, Up to the Minute, the author resolved to make the frantic pace work, despite the increasing toll the late hours and absences from her family were taking. Distracted, pressured to return too early to work after the birth of her second child and exhausted, she took a bad fall down the stairs of her Yonkers home while holding her infant. The trauma scared her into slowing down, but not for long. Opportunity has seasoned Brzezinski but not hardened her, and having found her venue and voice with Morning Joe, she shares a refreshingly pragmatic approach for the professional woman: don't wait to have children and don't let your job treat you like a bad boyfriend. (Jan.)
Balancing Life and Work

 All Things At Once
August 2009 Dear Reader,
When I met Mika Brzezinski for the first time last year, I was absolutely blown away. Anyone who watches her every weekday on Morning Joe or listens to her daily radio show with Joe Scarborough already knows she’s fiery, opinionated, and scary smart: in short, a publicist’s dream.
It was refreshing to learn that Mika—whom Lesley Stahl recently named one of media’s rising stars and who, as the daughter of former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, grew up playing in the White House—is as charming and down-to-earth as she appears on TV. But what struck me the most was her candor about the hard lessons she has faced along the path to her current success.
Yes, she’s in a fantastic spot with her career and family today, but this hasn’t always been the case…and getting here hasn’t been easy. All Things At Once is the story of this journey—and Mika is the first to admit that she has struggled to achieve work/life balance and made mistakes along the way. She has had to learn, painfully at times, that often the best way to move forward is to have the good sense to know when to take a step back.
Particularly now, when many of us are forced to reassess our priorities either because we’ve lost jobs in the current economic downturn, or because we feel forced to choose between work and family, Mika’s honest message is a breath of much-needed fresh air.
