GOOD LUCK! – ABOUT BALANCE IN LIFE AND OTHER EMPTY PHRASES
Lycka till! – om balans i livet och andra floskler

The much longed-for follow up of The Good Girl Diagnosis (Diagnos: Duktig) focuses on how to perform well and feel well at the same time. How can we create a life where there is room for both work and family, how can we find a balance in life? Here the authors have interviewed women who are happy with their lives. What does their recipe look like? How can we find a way of having both a stimulating work and a good private life? What does it really mean to be successful? Isn’t it about time to get a more individual view of that question?

Good Luck! (Lycka till!) was published in September 2005 by Bokförlaget DN.
Sold to: Pocketförlaget (Sweden)

The Good Girl Diagnosis (Diagnos: Duktig) is an important and vitalizing reading for extremly competent girls, but also for all those who should care about these women.

This book is a success in Sweden. More than 20 000 copies have been sold and the authors travel all around the country lecturing and giving  work-shops. The book describes the reality for many young women of today in modern Europe. High demands at work, high demands at home. How do all these capable high performing young women cope with it all? Or don’t they?
A combination of interviews with female doctors, illustrators, managing directors etc, mixed with facts, give us an interesting and sometimes frightening picture.
