Mika Brzezinski, "Morning Joe" co-host, kicked off her All Things At Once book tour today on the Today Show, chatting with Matt Lauer about the new book. She writes about how trying to be everything to everyone can fail. After a serious accident with her baby, she decided to consider a more balanced life in order to maintain her career and motherhood.

She shares her lessons in the memoir, along with some cautionary tales and advice. She said she came from a driven background, and was pushed to have goals, but they sometimes became burdens.

"The priorities and messages I received as a child became too much," she said (via MSN.com). "I took them all on, all at the same time. But I was scrambling to do too much, too soon."
