Alignment
A Montessori Approach to Reimagining Work-Life Balance
Book • 2025
In Alignment, Dr. Katie Keller Wood challenges the traditional concept of work-life balance, proposing instead a model of alignment inspired by Montessori education principles.
The book encourages readers to view their lives as a mosaic of interconnected parts—work, family, friendships—that require continuous, dynamic alignment rather than a static balance.
Drawing on decades of experience and research, Wood offers practical exercises, real-world examples, and reflective activities to help readers recognize early signs of misalignment and guide them through a process of realignment.
The book emphasizes embracing oneself as a whole person and finding joy and value in all life areas, including meaningful work, while addressing systemic and privilege-related considerations.
