Men Do It Too: Opting Out and In offers a timely and comprehensive
analysis of the phenomenon of men leaving mainstream careers
models, adding to current debates on opting out. The book
investigates how globalization, individualization, and this age of
high modernity, in addition to issues of masculinity and what it
means to be a man in contemporary society and organizational
contexts, affect decisions to opt out. Throughout the book, social
theory and relevant debates are interwoven with the narratives of
15 men who have left successful careers and mainstream career
models to live and work on their own terms: six from the United
States, five from Finland, and four from the UK. The narratives
help illustrate the issues presented, as well as providing an
insight into the men's identity work throughout their opting out
processes. In addition, Biese explores what organizations can learn
from the knowledge gathered in her research on men (and women)
opting out. This is important in order to create sustainable work
environments that not only attract but also retain employees.
