The author obviously started writing this before the pandemic that brought the world to it's knees and or working from home. And that's fine because rather than living at work as we all are currently she aims for a world where we are all less anxious and are able to work from home, advancing our careers, building our teams and taking care of our mental health as we do so.
This book is also timely to read as I think behaviours will have to change post Covid-19. We won't be regular 9-5ers but actually think about when you are most and least productive work wise. And promote that to your colleagues as when you will be available. It is and it isn't ground breaking stuff - good news only on a Friday, no ominous emails saying let's talk about this on Monday etc. It's a book I will be recommending to many and most likely sending to my CEO.

I’ve always been a big supporter of flexible working, whether it be choosing your own schedule and/or choosing the place where you work. So when I saw this book, I was intrigued to see how aligned it would be to my understanding. It was!
I really liked how the book was structured; it was easy to understand and follow. Additionally, I really loved how the author didn’t just present an idea as a must-follow ‘just because’. She also provided the pros and cons alongside the idea, and in many places she encouraged the readers to choose what would be best for themselves.
This is a great book which I would recommend to anyone, especially those who struggles to adjust to the new way of working; remotely.
