Sobre IBD

Non-work obligations can undermine our well-being and lifestyles, but scholars of work and leisure alike have largely ignored this element of our lives. This book, written by an established authority in the field, shines a light on the significance of this ’third space’ in our lives and offers a guide to finding contentment in discontentment.
