À propos de cet audio

 INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

"Travel to the land of Couldn't Be More Timely."--Margaret Atwood on Lean Out, in the West End Phoenix

"What begins as one woman's critique of our culture of overwork and productivity ultimately becomes an investigation into our most urgent problems: vast inequality, loneliness, economic precarity, and isolation from the natural world. Henley punctures the myths of the meritocracy in a way few writers have. This is an essential book for our time." --Mandy Len Catron, author of How to Fall in Love with Anyone

A deeply personal and informed reflection on the modern world--and why so many feel disillusioned by it.

In 2016, journalist Tara Henley was at the top of her game working in Canadian media. She had traveled the world, from Soweto to Bangkok and Borneo to Brooklyn, interviewing authors and community leaders, politicians and Hollywood celebrities. But when she started getting chest pains at her desk in the newsroom, none of that seemed to matter.

The health crisis--not cardiac, it turned out, but anxiety--forced her to step off the media treadmill and examine her life and the stressful twenty-first century world around her. Henley was not alone; North America was facing an epidemic of lifestyle-related health problems. And yet, the culture was continually celebrating the elite few who thrived in the always-on work world, those who perpetually leaned in. Henley realized that if we wanted innovative solutions to the wave of burnout and stress-related illness, it was time to talk to those who had leaned out.

Part memoir, part travelogue, and part investigation, Lean Out tracks Henley's journey from the heart of the connected city to the fringe communities that surround it. From early retirement enthusiasts in urban British Columbia to moneyless men in rural Ireland, Henley uncovers a parallel track in which everyday citizens are quietly dropping out of the mainstream and reclaiming their lives from overwork. Underlying these disparate movements is a rejection of consumerism, a growing appetite for social contribution, and a quest for meaningful connection in this era of extreme isolation and loneliness.

As she connects the dots between anxiety and overwork, Henley confronts the biggest issues of our time. Développement personnel Essais et carnets de voyage Réussite Ouvrages généraux

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Lean Out rang so true for me, and gave me the permission I needed to say no to two assignments that normally I would just say yes to—because I’m terrified of missing a single opportunity, of appearing ungrateful, and falling behind. Adrenaline can play a role in keeping us alive, but it’s no way to live. Beautifully written, brimming with insight and reassurance—I’m so grateful for this book.”
–Olivia Sudjic, author of Exposure

"Provocative and convincing." — Winnipeg Free Press

At first I was frustrated. The book sounded like another "woe is me" litany. And then she won me over. Leave it up to you to decide if it motivates you to become active in a place in your community to choose a saner way of living. I did for me.

After bumping into her national post article I thought I would give her at try hoping for some insight into current society. What I got was a meandering mess about her inability to do what most people do easily, daily eat and work. Bummer because I was hoping the author was going to be my new Naomi Klein.

Absolutely boring

As others, I was intregued by one of the author's articles published in National Post whoch seemed to provide a good deal of insights into the states of affairs of the Canadian media. The book was no better than a newspaper oppinon article, but a very very long one. Not very captivating, just an enumerartion if perspectives on life, society and happiness, sprinkled with a few statistics, some obscure studies and some numbers which do not add up. The descriptions were bkand and lacked any power to actually build an image. I think I like the author as a person, but not really as a book author.

Boring relatation of e's life and train of thought
