We’re back, bookworms! This fall, Craft Your Commerce will be digging into the book How to Not Always be Working, by Cody Cook-Parrot.
From the publisher: “Filled with practical advice to help you curb your unhelpful obsessions and build boundaries between your work, your job, and your life—How to Not Always Be Working is for any- and everyone who wants to create a sacred space in their lives.”
This book is great for anyone looking feeling overwhelmed with information and an ever-increasing to-do list in our fast-paced, hyperconnected world, but it is especially relevant for independent entrepreneurs and freelancers, who already have less separation between work and life than those with a nine-to-five. Or maybe you are a creative who is on the nine-to-five grind, but want to create more space for your creative work – this book is for you too!
Book Club will meet twice to discuss this book, once in-person, and once virtually for a Q&A with the author. See dates below.
Note: The author of How to Not Always Be Working went through a name change since publishing, so the name on the cover is Marlee Grace rather than Cody Cook-Parrott. You may find the book listed under either name online.
Meeting Dates and Times:
Tuesday, September 23rd
5:30-7:30 pm
In-Person, Print House in Downtown Asheville
Tuesday, October 21st
5:30-7:30 pm
Virtual Q&A with the author via Zoom
