• Outsource your life to overseas virtual assistants for as little as $5 per hour, giving you the freedom to do whatever you want.
• Adopt blue-chip escape strategies that allow you to travel the world without quitting your job.
• Eliminate 50% of your work in 48 hours using principles inspired by a forgotten Italian economist.
• Trade a long-haul career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements.”
