Ivanka Trump wants to bust the superwoman myth with her new book, but some women dont seem to be buying what shes selling.Trumps Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Successfocuses on career advice and how mothers can achieve a work-life balance. On Monday, Fortune shared an exclusive excerpt from the book, due out Tuesday.I began to wonder whether I had been doing women who work a disservice by not owning the reality that, because Ive got an infant, Im in my bathrobe at 7 a.m. and theres pureed avocado all over me, she writes about learning to embrace her more authentic self.Exclusive excerpt from @ivankatrump's new book, Women Who Work https://t.co/MsxgLEGZgN pic.twitter.com/laEvVG85Bb Fortune (@FortuneMagazine) May 1, 2017 In her own workplace, the first daughter says she is purposeful about carving out personal time, leaving the office at 5:30 p.m. and then answering emails at 11 p.m. During the chaos of the campaign, however, she didnt find much down time.During extremely high-capacity times, like during the campaign, I went into survival mode: I worked and I was with my family; I didnt do much else. Honestly, I wasnt treating myself to a massage or making much time for self-care. I wish I could have awoken early to meditate for twenty minutes and I would have loved to catch up with the friends I hadnt seen in three months, but there just wasnt enough time in the day. And sometimes that happens. Seasons of chaos will undoubtedly come at some point in your life, and throw off even your best-laid plans, but you can go momentarily off track, knowing that you have a solid system in place to return to as soon as possible. The goal is that its the exception not the norm, and that youre able to get back to healthy habits as quickly as you can.Twitter doesnt seem to be clinging to Ms. Trumps every word ' taking her on about her privilege and challenging her fathers anti-women policies.Looking for more generic 'work-life balance' advice from a wealthy woman' Here's an excerpt from Ivanka's new book: https://t.co/IzQr7QGTyU Emily Peck (@EmilyRPeck) May 1, 2017 ivanka trump describing "survival mode" https://t.co/s4v5wquxE5 pic.twitter.com/xs2XLD80qv Melanie Ehrenkranz (@MelanieHannah) May 1, 2017 I'll be reading Ivanka Trump's new book for work tomorrow, so God please grant me the serenity to not dry heave at every other page.

I wrote it at a different time in my life, from the perspective of an executive and an entrepreneur, and the manuscript was completed before the election last November.
