Description
Structured around 26 case studies of globetrotting individuals, including - a vegan chocolatier, a tiny-house builder, a woodcarver, a tea company founder, and a horticulturalist - Make a Living Living explains how they achieved their ideal existence and offers tips and advice for how others can, too. The book also offers the tools to craft a creatively fulfilling life, one you don't need a vacation to escape from. Including a carefully considered set of exercises peppered throughout the book, readers will learn how to focus their vision, stay disciplined, trust themselves, take risks, see the lessons in their failures, and monetize their passions so they, too, can enjoy a more flexible, independent lifestyle.
