Learning to declutter our lives is a lifelong task that we all need to take seriously. When we are children, we have our parents following us around and cleaning up after us.

The Modern Maverick sets out a roadmap for a different way forward.

Fully revised second edition. Since Breaking Through Bias was published in 2016, the #MeToo movement has exposed just how pervasive sexual harassment is in the workplace; the increase in public misogynistic comments has made clear that explicit gender bias is not a thing of the past; and stay-at-home orders and school closings due to Covid-19 have brought into even sharper focus the discriminatory impact of the unequal division of child care and household responsibilities between most couples.
