Description
A game-changing book about the revolutionary potential of working from home, by two experts who work — and live — together.
When the Covid-19 pandemic closed offices around the world, sending millions into makeshift home offices, it was a forced compromise made under duress. But 2020 taught us that there may be another way to work: one that doesn’t involve hellish commutes and set schedules that no longer make sense, especially for companies with international reach.
While working from home can make people happier and make companies more productive, it has its pitfalls. Doing it well takes some thought. Out of Office combines Charlie and Anne’s first-person experiences of moving to a rural area and working remotely — for years before the pandemic hit — to demonstrate how workers everywhere can find new ways of working anywhere.

‘This book will challenge you to rethink what it takes to make remote work work — not just for companies, but for people. With lucid writing, provocative examples, and refreshing candour, Charlie Warzel and Anne Helen Petersen highlight what too many workplaces are doing wrong — and how we can start getting it right.’ – Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife
‘Out of Office isn’t just a book about remote work. It’s a book that helps us imagine a future where our lives — at the office and home — are happier, more productive, and genuinely meaningful. As companies and employees imagine their post-pandemic futures, Charlie Warzel and Anne Helen Petersen have provided an essential framework for rethinking how we work.' – Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better
