Are the pressures and insecurities of your career outweighing the benefits? Has the dream of "having it all" turned sour? Do you long for a simpler, happier, more fulfilling way of life?
'Downshifting' is the antidote to the stress-driven rat race and the key to a balanced, better quality of life. For some it may mean switching to a less stressful job, working part-time or negotiating flexible working hours. For the more adventurous it may involve escaping to the country or moving abroad to live the dream you've always wanted. Either way downshifting is no longer a distant aspiration, it's now a realistic lifestyle choice for millions of us - and there's never been a better time to jump the treadmill.
To help you size up your options and take the plunge, Polly Ghazi and Judy Jones have update their bestselling, definitive guide to downshifting. Through their own - and many others' - experience they:
- Explore the reasons for today's disillusionment
- Show the way to a simpler, happier life
- Explain how best to prepare for it - singly or as a family
- Give the best advice on how to live better with less
