"FIRST, EAT YOUR FROG is a meticulously referenced book presenting eight lessons (or ""pearls"") learned by a successful woman in medicine--Dr. Elizabeth Kagan Arleo. Benefits to the reader include improved work-life integration; more easeful relationships at work with colleagues and at home with family; better time management in both spheres; and core tenets for thriving as a professional working mother.

The chapters cover eight key lessons the author has learned in her ongoing journey as a mother of three, practicing physician, and editor-in-chief of Clinical Imaging, including:

1. Eat your frog

2. 168 hours--you have more time that you think

3. If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail

4. Remember the pre-meeting meeting

5. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good

6. Stop over-apologizing

7. It doesn't hurt to ask politely

8. Have a growth mindset

In FIRST, EAT YOUR FROG, Dr. Arleo gives ample credit to the authors and mentors who inspired the lessons and provides explicit guidance -- and highly entertaining stories -- to help readers move toward less overwhelm and more work-life balance."
