Description
It's in the news every day - Americans are slowly transitioning from a workaholic culture to one that places more emphasis on family and recognizes the value of downtime. Articles on sites such as CNN.com and in papers such as The Houston Timesrun stories almost weekly on topics such as life simplification, increased productivity in less time, and working less to spend more time at home. And with books such as The 4-Hour Workweekskyrocketing in popularity, it is obvious that the trend is only going to continue. But is finding a way to spend more time at home really only about increasing productivity and outsourcing lower-level responsibilities, as books such as The 4-Hour Workweek would have readers think? Not at all. It's about making smart choices and realistic decisions to find a comfortable balance between work and life. So how do you determine a desired income and set sensible work hours to attain that balance? What are the right work scenarios for these goals, and how can readers make the transition? And what are some passive income techniques for creating - and maintaining - a positive income? The answers to these questions and more can be found in Jeff Cohen's The Complete Idiot's Guide to Working Less, Earning More. Through practical, realistic information provided by an author who works only about three days a week, readers will understand how to- Think about the modern-day work ethic in a new way.

Build - and maintain - powerful relationships and networks. Round out skill sets to be more marketable. Get work done outside the confines of an office building. Maximize technology to minimize time spent on minutia. Avoid time wasters and efficiency traps. Use active and passive income techniques to uphold living standards. Presented in an easy-to-follow, interactive workbook-style approach, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Working Lessteaches readers how to attain the perfect working lifestyle - which is something different for everyone.
