Why can’t we take occasional career breaks to focus on the other areas of life that matter: family, friends, adventure, rest, hobbies, our health, and achieving long-held dreams? And what if there was a way of doing so that not only avoided financial or career downsides – but brought profound upsides? Author Jillian Johnsrud has walked the walk – taking numerous mini retirements that have unlocked work-life balance and a more purposeful life, while also helping rather than hindering her career thanks to simple steps and practical principles that anyone can follow. She has coached hundreds of people to achieve the same, and in Retire Often she shares everything you need to make the most of every season of life by retiring not once – but often. Accompanied by a thoughtful foreword from author JL Collins, The Simple Path to Wealth, this book is packed with personal anecdotes, applicable advice, and handy tips, making it a must-buy manual for anyone seeking more freedom and balance in their lives.

Claude Monet was a lifelong traveller. For more than fifty years, he made his way through Europe, looking for remarkable scenes, reflections, nuances and transparencies of light to capture through his painting – the result of patient, obsessive observation. From Normandy to Venice, via London, Brittany, the Mediterranean and the banks of the Seine, his travels were far more than mere journeys: they were an incessant quest for visual sensations. Florence Gentner retraces his artistic and personal trajectory, showing how twenty destinations profoundly influenced some 250 of his major works, as well as the evolution of his palette. Extracts from more than 100 letters, numerous sketches, notebook excerpts and reproductions reveal the circumstances of his journeys and convey the painter’s state of mind while he was away from home. His travel paintings constitute an exceptional body of work, enriched, for each trip, by an insightful analysis from Marine Kiesel. Part artistic biography, part travelogue, and presented in a beautiful printed cloth hardcover binding, Monet Abroad reveals the modernity and insatiable curiosity of a painter constantly in search of new horizons and new subjects.
