THE FREE RANGE BOOK HAS LANDED!
The latest (extended!) edition of Marianne Cantwell’s best-selling Be A Free Range Human is here for you:
So what’s this Book all about then?
I’m so glad you asked. You see, “Be A Free Range Human” is not a regular business or careers book. This isn’t just about quitting your job or being your own boss… it’s about discovering a world where creating something that suits you in every way is not only encouraged but essential to make this work.
It’s about life on your terms, working when, where and how you want – so you don’t have to fit you (and your unique personality) into someone else’s box to get paid.
Sounds good? You’re not alone:
Translated into 7 languages, and featured everywhere from The Guardian to CBS Money and Business Week, “Be A Free Range Human” was one of the first and most popular guides to creating a custom career (without an office or a boss).
This 2nd edition is heavily revised + updated, including advice on how to make free range work for your personality (you don’t need to be an always-networking extrovert, have loads of funding or an MBA!)… and finding your right next steps in a noisy world.
This smart, energising and thoughtful book will help you cut through the noise, and see your options in a new way so you can get freedom and fulfilment as you (no one-size-fits-all formulas in sight!)
WAIT, TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi there! I’m Marianne. Good to virtually meet you.
These days I’m known as an author and for things like my TEDx Talk on “The Hidden Power Of Not Always Fitting In” (viewed over half a million times)… but a decade or so ago I was a corporate-cage human who definitely needed out.
After watching too many days go by when I was cooped inside staring out the window (feeling like I had to leave a big part of myself at the door every day), I finally quit my job and went free range.
Not because I had some grand mission to ‘dominate the world’… but because I genuinely wanted to create an own boss ‘career’ where I got to feel like me – where I could work when, where and how I wanted, write my own ‘job description’ – and live a life that felt right every day.
This philosophy is what underpins Free Range Humans today: a movement with 20,000+ people, online courses and events, and one bestselling book: we’ve worked with thousands of people to find their thing and bring it to life – as them.
Which is the point of this, really:

Be a Free Range Human shines.
Marianne Cantwell could have merely inspired millions of people to think outside the job box, but she goes the extra mile to provide the reader with the all-important “how.” Brilliant!

When I read Be A Free Range Human, it felt as though a million lightbulbs went off at once.
I had an idea of what I wanted but I didn’t think it could be done without compromising my own mental health and introverted nature. This changed my perspective and gave me the confidence to create a life that fits.

A BIT OF BEHIND THE SCENES (BECAUSE I LIKE PEOPLE WHO SCROLL THIS FAR)
Early on, I put my business in a little suitcase and went ‘nomadic’ living + running my thing from my laptop in Bali, Costa Rica, Italy (I can still only say “ciao”), France and more for years – while earning more than in that last ‘good job’.
These days I am ‘nesting’ between London and sunny California.
I don’t believe that you have to ‘find your one big passion‘ in order to create a life and work you love.
(You’ll see how here!)
I’m obsessed with personality and how we work as humans.
A big part of what I love is helping people find their right idea or shape their right path (and even their business, marketing and more) based on who they are.
I don’t believe that ‘create your own thing and a life you love’ has to look just one way…
And I definitely don’t think ‘freedom’ means ‘you have to become a cookie-cutter version of someone else in order to make things work’
I think we are at one of the luckiest points in history, with more information available at our fingertips ever before…
I also know that too much information can lead to overwhelm and lack of clarity – that’s one thing we take on in this book.
While I’m enthusiastic and full of possibility most of the time, I also live with on-and-off anxiety and identify as a HSP (‘highly sensitive person’).
I mention this as there’s a myth that doing something like this is only for shiny people who have no self doubt, ever.
This second edition busts this myth, big time, and shows another way.
