What Readers Say:

“The Edwards’ goal is to help readers prepare effectively to ride “the waves of a sea change.” More like a tsunami, it seems to me!  Their book is designed to assist middle-class folk in meeting the multiple challenges “as we transition (away) from a job-based corporate economy…”  This book is a practical guide to getting us safely through that treacherous gap.”

- Linda Buzzell, Career Counselor in Hope Dance Magazine

“….a pragmatic book that whenever possible breaks down into bite-sized chunks the sometimes-intimidating ideas and activities geared toward taking back some control of your own life. Jam-packed with resourceful tidbits, Middle-Class Lifeboat reads like a reference book of baby steps toward greater satisfaction and ambitious life altering experiments. The Learn More sections at the end of every chapter are divine.”
