		<title>Big Media Day for Christine!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it rains, it pours&#8230;
I&#8217;m quoted in today&#8217;s New York Times as a self-help expert in a creative spin on Goldman Sachs and their soul-searching new business mission statement. The report, Jesse Eisinger, wanted to title the piece &#8220;Eat, Pray, Trade&#8221; a la Elizabeth Gilbert, but I guess the Times copydesk thought that was too [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good News &amp; Bad News on Education &amp; Marriage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a widening gap between the haves and have-nots in America&#8211;and this time the fault-line is marriage. Educated young-adults are marrying and thriving in their unions, while those with less education are more likely to cohabit, less likely to ever marry and more likely to divorce if they do wed. The latest data to support [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moms: Act Your Age, Not Her Jean Size</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mothers and daughters of all ages are in increasingly complex relationships, warns gender studies author Susan Shapiro Barash&#8211;and we use shopping as a misguided panacea.
That warning nagged in my mind this past weekend as my Mom and I went shopping and had lunch in the restaurant of a big department store, joining scores of mother-daughter [...]]]></description>

		<title>MSNBC on the best self-help &#8212; and worst!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you missed the piece in SELF Magazine earlier this month, check out my quotes on MSNBC, posted yesterday. Spread the word to one and all: Learn the difference between good and bad self-help. Seek advice from those who present options, not dictates, for achieving the good life. And don&#8217;t lose yourself as you seek [...]]]></description>

		<title>How We Choose Love Partners</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I did a fun interview with Dr. Karyl McBride on the Good Enough Rocks Radio show. We chatted about how mothers are terrific role models for this generation of smart, successful men and women&#8211;but also put some unnecessary pressure on their daughters to hurry up and marry. Dr. McBride&#8217;s focus on mothers and daughters [...]]]></description>

		<title>Teaching Virtue to a Skeptical Generation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many young adults are struggling with the ethical challenges of the real   world not because they aren&#8217;t good people, but because they need a   refresher course on how to live an honest, successful, and productive   life. The motto of my high school was &#8220;not for school, but for life [...]]]></description>

		<title>Recent Media Mentions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been swamped with the start of the new school year and way too slow in my usual shameless self-promotion, but here are some links of my recent media mentions:
• BizMe, an online magazine geared toward Millennial business women, quoted me in a fun piece on being successful and sexy.
• Author of 168 Hours Laura [...]]]></description>

		<title>SELF Help</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s been nearly a year since three people died and dozens more were injured during a self-help retreat led by the now-infamous James Arthur Ray. At the time, I wrote a piece in The Washington Post and was outspoken about the fact that, although we’d like to write them off as New Age wackos, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Guys more likely to cheat on high-earning women&#8221; says MSNBC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once more, the story that gets the most attention in the waning days of summertime focuses on bad news for smart, successful women. Brian Alexander&#8217;s piece on income disparities and infidelity has gotten a lot of attention (including a shout-out on CNN, which I caught as I was eating lunch today). 
Brian was good enough [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good News for Smart Women Seeking Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the nearly four years since Why Smart Men Marry Smart Women hit the shelves, I &#8212; and a handful of other social scientists &#8212; have  continued to battle bad-news media stories that suggest men are  intimidated by smart, successful women. One of the great writers and  social commentators leading the pack [...]]]></description>
