Product Description

Widely acclaimed for its engaging style and provocative perspective, this book has helped thousands transform their working lives. Now include a 30-page resource guide that explains the basics of working for oneself.

It's about fulfillment. A revolution is sweeping America. On its front lines are people fed up with unfulfilling jobs, dysfunctional workplaces, and dead-end careers. Meet today's new economic icon: the free agent-men and women who are working for themselves. And meet your future.

It's about freedom. Free agents are the marketing consultant down the street, the home-based "mompreneur," the footloose technology contractor. Already 30 million strong, these 21st-century pioneers are creating lives with more meaning and often more money. Free Agent Nation is your ticket to this world.

It's about time. Now, you can discover:

The kind of free agent you can be "soloist," "temp," or "microbusiness"-and how to launch your new career.

How to get the perks you once received from your boss: health insurance, office space, training, workplace togetherness, even water cooler gossip.

Why the free agent economy is increasingly a woman's world and how women are flourishing in it.

The transformation of retired older workers is creating successful new businesses (and whole new lives) through the Internet.
