The Grind of Business

In this Business Week Online article, author B.J. Hawkins discusses her company's committment to bring balance to the lives of its employees. Interesting read, and Ms. Hawkins concludes:

I work an average of 10 hours a day now, rather than the 18 I used to put in prior to my advisers' urging me to face the truth about myself. Work is no longer a continuous grind, but rather what it was always meant to be: a fulfilling aspect of a life that also includes family and self -- indeed, even an entrepreneur's life.

How many lawyers can make a similar transition?
