Internal obstacles are rarely discussed and often underplayed.

Each subsequent chapter focuses on an adjustment or difference that we can make ourselves:
此后每章集中谈论一个我们所能做出的调整或改变，包括：
increasing our self-confidence ("Sit at the Table"), getting our partners to do more at home ("Make Your Partner a Real Partner"),
增强自信（“往桌前坐”），让我们的伴侣多分担些家务（让你的另一半成为真正的“人生搭档”），
not holding ourselves to unattainable standards ("The Myth of Doing It All").
而不是勉强自己去达到难以实现的标准（“全能女人”是个神话）。
