Abstract:
Through firsthand quantitative and qualitative empirical research, plus a wealth of research reviewed, The Caregiving Ambition brings together psychological theories and cutting-edge management research to illuminate how ignoring caregiving as an ambition perpetuates the status quo. This book shows the path forward by arguing that an honest discussion about caregiving ambition will make our individual and collective lives more humane, caring, and productive.
