A Warner Business Book™
Also Available as an eBook
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-men and women who are working for themselves. Meet today's new economic icon—the free agent. 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 exhilarating new world.
IT'S ABOUT TIME.
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 retirement—how older workers are creating successful new businesses (and whole new lives) through the Internet.

The Direction of Business Now:
Instinctive, Nomadic, and Ever-Changing
by Mikela Tarlow with Philip Tarlow
Once people moved freely in a world strung together not by roads or wires but by impressions and stories. Here two noted authors show how today's technology-driven information blurs old borderlines and that in many ways we live in an era very much like that of our aboriginal ancestors. In this brilliant, forward-thinking book, they urge business managers to re-imagine strategies and customers and help managers and entrepreneurs enter this modern age with a clearer vision of new markets, new products, and new rewards on the digital frontier.
"A road map to the treasures of our primal past, which are now signposts of our future. We serve ourselves well by heeding [the Tarlows]."
-Isisara Bey, vice president, Corporate Affairs, Sony Music
