The Art of Bleisure: Travel the world, make money and live a life you love, now
Emma Lovell
This book is written to help people live a life they love now, rather than waiting for ‘one day’, their annual vacation or even retirement.
Bleisure is about blending business and leisure, but it’s also a mindset that means you can have more balance and can do more of what you love.
For the last 15 years I’ve been working for myself and have visited 76 countries thanks to bleisure’. People have constantly asked me how I travel so much and the nuts and bolts of making it work. So this book is a guide to how anyone can embrace bleisure in their lives. Along with sharing my story and advice from my own experiences (and wisdom from lessons learned along the way), I feature a number of case studies on people who also live the bleisure lifestyle, so that readers can see how varied and adaptable it is.
