In answer to the question "Am I cut out to work at home?" Millie Szerman answers emphatically, "Yes Virginia, there is a home-based personality."

From there, she takes you on a journey of how-tos and what-ifs to give you the confidence to start working with A View from the Tub. If you already have a home-based business, you'll get ideas and advice for making it a success.

As a writer, I appreciated the chapter on "how to tune up your one-man band." I loved the "eating an elephant" metaphor as a way to multitask and the way she addresses "the loneliness factor." The reader becomes aware that his author/publicist has not just researched the subject but has lived it.

A View From the Tub includes a checklist, case studies, a resource section, a place to take notes and quotes from the likes of Ben Franklin and Ann Landers. It is a great book for "home study"-sorry I just couldn't resist the pun.
