Description

 In Lean Out- A Meditation on the Madness of Modern Life, current affairs journalist Tara Henley sets out to discover alternatives to the always-on work culture of North America. For the last decade, our culture has been conditioned to draw inspiration from the elite few who thrive in high-pressure environments, those who, from the desk to the home, perpetually "lean in." But 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 in all kinds of weird and wonderful ways.
