Life, “Balance,” and National Security with Rosa Brooks

“We would probably be happier if we accept that there will not be balance. Nobody gets 100% all the time. It’s a matter of making sure that you carve out enough time for the things that matter to you most…. and I don’t think that will be the same at different moments in your life.” http://media.blubrry.com/womenindiplomacy/content.blubrry.com/womenindiplomacy/Rosa.m4a   ROSA BROOKS is a groundbreaking national security expert.
