Two cubicle convicts. One jungle village. A life without boundaries. In this real-life comedic memoir, Laura Berger and Glen Tibaldeo expose the blessings and ironic struggles of ditching their cut-throat corporate jobs for life in a tranquil jungle paradise. Following the spirit and encouragement of friends met on a desperately needed vacation two years earlier, they leave their Chicago home with eleven suitcases, two laptops, and two cats to land in Pair-o-Dice Village, the scene of their big life gamble. Surprisingly intense life changes immediately prompt a slew of rarely contemplated questions. Could you: Completely change your sources of happiness? Let a boa constrictor loose in your house to get rid of the bats? Drink mystery potions from a shaman? Brave cliff sides when you're deathly afraid of heights? Make friends with your pesky inner voice at all costs? Join a journey of laughter as Laura and Glen pick apart the foibles in all of us. Find yourself rooting for a couple in a life adventure, at the brink of losing everything they have to get everything they've ever wanted. From random wildlife dropping from the sky and battles with vipers to culture clashes and visits with shamans, Radical Sabbatical captures the thrills and realities of boldly following a dream in a story any thrill-seeker-armchair or roaming-will love.

A book for everyone who is tired of that Sunday night dread... Just over a year ago, aged 24, Emma left her job with the Civil Service to spend a year experiencing 25 different careers before turning 25. Aiming to promote career fulfilment and advocate for more diverse career education, Emma was overwhelmed by the response and the lessons she has learnt have been invaluable. Interweaving New You and self-help, THE RADICAL SABBATICAL blends the extraordinary perspective gained from experiencing twenty-five different careers in a year, with practical advice for those who want to make a career change and for those who don't even know where to start. Divided into three sections – 'How To Learn What Makes You Happy', 'How To Get 25 Jobs' and 'How To Turn Indecision Into Opportunity' – THE RADICAL SABBATICAL addresses core issues and lessons learned from trying so many careers. Offering practical advice in an engaging and accessible manner, it will inspire readers of all ages to take control of their lives and give them the confidence to make the changes that are right for them.

In the tradition of Octavia Butler, here is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help to shape the futures we want. Change is constant. The world, our bodies, and our minds are in a constant state of flux. They are a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, Emergent Strategy teaches us to map and assess the swirling structures and to read them as they happen, all the better to shape that which ultimately shapes us, personally and politically. A resolutely materialist spirituality based equally on science and science fiction: a wild feminist and afro-futurist ride! adrienne maree brown, co-editor of Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction from Social Justice Movements, is a social justice facilitator, healer, and doula living in Detroit.
