Alyssa and Liz use their insights as researchers to problem solve several unlikely scenarios including cabinet-making commuting, an obnoxious house guest, expired aloe vera, and when to work out (a perpetual favorite).  They discuss how flexstyles (from CEO of ME) can be a helpful tool for thinking through these challenges.   Results from quizzes about their inner suffragette and celebrity feminist prove less useful.   http://www.amazon.com/CEO-Me-Creating-Flexible-paperback/dp/0132480581
