deferred-life plan - there is no need to wait and every reason not to,

How blue-chip escape artists travel the world without quitting their
jobs * How to eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using the

career for short work bursts and frequent 'mini-retirements'.

More than 50 practical tips and case studies from readers (including
families) who have doubled their income, overcome common sticking
points, and reinvented themselves using the original book as a
starting point * Real-world templates you can copy for eliminating
email, negotiating with bosses and clients, or getting a private chef
