Make a Living Living is for anyone who has ever wished they could build a successful career doing something they love. Structured around 26 case studies of globetrotting individuals, including – a vegan chocolatier, a tiny-house builder, a woodcarver, a tea company founder, and a horticulturalist – Make a Living Living explains how they achieved their ideal existence and offers tips and advice for how others can, too. The book also offers the tools to craft a creatively fulfilling life, one you don’t need a vacation to escape from. Including a carefully considered set of exercises peppered throughout the book, readers will learn how to focus their vision, stay disciplined, trust themselves, take risks, see the lessons in their failures, and monetize their passions so they, too, can enjoy a more flexible, independent lifestyle. Advice from artists featured in Make a Living Living: • Make your passion your job, and it will never feel like work again. • Simple living, keep things simple and you’ll save money and have more time to enjoy life. • Sustainability, there is a large community of people who make things and care about the way they make them. • Nomadic living, keep your eyes fresh and your brain engaged by living creatively in different spaces. This isn’t a book for people looking to find fame or get rich quick. Instead, it’s for those wishing to take more pleasure in the simple things and minimize stress, to take control of their time and energy, to travel, cultivate inspiring relationships, and build a successful purpose-driven career doing what they love.

A guide to making money sans job offers insight-provoking interactive tests, self-evaluations, charts, and checklists, as well as numerous anecdotes about people who are successfully self-employed. “If you are ready to stretch your mind to the idea of making a living without a job, you’ll find plenty of encouragement and practical information here. Designing a lifestyle for yourself that nurtures and supports who you are and what you value won’t happen instantaneously, but this book will certainly make the process simpler and easier for you. Becoming joyfully jobless begins with a commitment to self-discovery, a curiosity about your potential, and a willingness to acquire the information and skills that will enhance your work. Your way will be unlike anyone else’s, although you will share a deep camaraderie with others on this path. Being your own boss is both heady and humbling, but it’s seldom boring.” —Barbara J. Winter, from the Introduction

'Have you ever seen The Thomas Crown Affair? Faye Dunaway (sugar pink lips, fabulous nails, playing Black) utterly destroys Steve Mc Queen (blue eyes, playing White). It's a dazzling performance ...That film made me get out the chess set I'd abandoned three years earlier. It made me search through East Anglia for a blue-eyed boy suffering from wealth-ennui. I never found one, but my chess and my nails were outstanding for a thirteen year old.' Lexicographer, chess master and hedonist, Rose is down on her luck when she meets Jamie, a guy she beat at chess twelve years previously who has never recovered from losing the game or forgotten the sight of Rose's perfectly manicured nails poised to strike over the chess board. She's destitute, he's loaded and terrified of losing her again. They strike a bargain: in return for chess he will keep her. What is it like being a kept woman in the 21st century? Rose is about to find out. She's also about to learn that disguising your moves in chess can lead to victory, but doing the same thing in love leads to disaster.

Brilliant, life-changing, beautiful, Living Artfully will instruct and inspire readers to liberate their creativity and transform their daily existence into the life of their dreams. To Magsamen, art is communication; and Living Artfully is connecting with each other in creative ways, through everyday things and moments. In this new book she explains how, where, and when readers can use their own creative language - the images, words, sounds, foods, or crafts through which they most easily express themselves - to connect more deeply and joyfully with the important people in their lives. With original art throughout, it also reveals Magsamen's own dynamic process of creativity. With inspiring stories of caring gestures, simple gifts, and unexpected efforts that make a difference, Living Artfully initially invites and encourages readers to begin a personal renaissance. Then, it presents a wealth of ideas that will jumpstart every imagination and unleash long-dormant - or even undiscovered - talents. Not a how-to book but a why-to - uplifting, motivational, and fun - Living Artfully is also the guide into a new cultural movement in which people live with a creative purpose - celebrating the people and moments that make life meaningful.
