DISTINGUISHED FAVORITE: NYC Big Book Award 2020 - Career

Trapped in a job or business that's "just not you"? Always dreaming of your next vacation or living for the weekend? Marianne Cantwell's straight-talking bestseller will help you break out of that career cage and Be A Free Range Human. It's about much more than just quitting your job and becoming your own boss. It's about life on your terms, working when, where and how you want - so you don't have to fit yourself into someone else's box to make a great income. This second edition won't just inspire you, it will give you unconventional and practical steps to:
- Discover what you really want to do with your life (even if no answer has ever fully fit)
- Get started in 90 days, with what you have
- Create a free range career, tailor-made for you and the life you want (be it travelling the world or hanging out in your favourite café)
- Stand out from the crowd and get paid well to be you

Be A Free Range Human was one of the first and most popular guides to creating a custom career (without an office or a boss). Updated with new advice on how to make free range work for your personality (you don't need to be a constantly-networking extrovert. have an MBA, or get funding), this smart, energizing guide will help you cut through the noise, see your options in a new way, and get the freedom and fulfilment you crave.
