Reinventing the rules for a smarter, happier life.
Flex is a creative, rebellious way to live. It’s about looking at routines (like the nine to five) and social norms (like women bearing the brunt of the ‘emotional load’ at home) and bending and re-shaping them.
Flex is looking within and understanding yourself, your body and the patterns of your relationships, and working out how to live, earn money and be happy in a way that is perfect for you and your unique talents.
Flex is knowing that the world is changing fast. The jobs we were trained for in school won’t exist in a decade. The career ladder has been replaced with the portfolio.
If you feel stuck, tired, not at your best, bored… this book is for you.
If you are burning with ideas but stuck in an environment that squashes them… this book is for you.
If you are a rebel at heart… this book is for you.
Flex is reinventing the rules for a smarter, happier future.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5"Flexing" is different from multitasking, which is usually a bad idea. While the subtitle suggests that this is a business book only, Annie Auerbach shares ideas in this little book about how to flex your work life, your home life, and your online life to make a more fulfilling life in which you are more creative and genuinely productive. Is your life really working for you? Can you make it work for you? What kinds of arrangements to you need to mix up, mashup, flex up in order to make this happen? What myths need challenging or busting? Do you need to rebel? What about your use of technology? Technology can either serve you or it can bog you down. Plenty of suggestions and inspiration between these covers for tuning in to some not-so-obvious solutions and implementing them.Thanks to Netgalley and HarperCollins for a free dARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
