Even when your job can be done from anywhere, the place you call home still matters—a lot.By the old rules of work, your dream career determines where you live. If you want to make movies, move to Los Angeles. If you want to work in publishing, you must be in New York. And if you're launching a start-up, you'll only succeed in Silicon Valley.But with the meteoric rise of remote and freelance work, more people than ever are becoming location independent. Even doctors, teachers, and other people in more traditional occupations have to make tough choices about where they settle, because living in the right place can still make all the difference for your success and happiness.So if work won't dictate where you live, how will you ever decide?If You Could Live Anywhere answers that question. Melody Warnick unpacks the big-picture concerns that we often miss when we're writing pros-and-cons lists about potential destinations. Because the secret to being happy isn't moving, it's aligning your location with your values. You'll learn how to craft a personal location strategy that will make the most of your money, your community, and your life, with success stories from people who flexed their location independence to find homes and work they love.The future of work is clear: it can happen wherever you are. So where do you really want to be?

许多工作,有个电脑加上互联网,就可以做。新冠疫情,更是让大量的人开始在家工作。书中有个新词,anywherist,正是指居住不受工作地点限制的群体。

anywherist是个多样性的群体,大体可以分为喜欢尝鲜的的漫游者和喜欢安定的定居者,无论属于什么类型,主动会或被动的要换居住地,anywherist几乎都会面临的问题就是,如果你能住在任何地方,那么你会住哪儿?

作者提供了不少策略和技巧,辅助人们做选择和决定自己的生活方式,工作方式和居住地。比如给自己的需要列出自己最新欢的要素和绝对不要的要素,亲自到当地体验,了解自己是否受当地社区的支持,社区是否适合自己的理念,等等。还介绍了如何利用物价的地域差别实现财富自由,如何在不同的地方工作时应对税务问题,一些地区为创业者和高学历人群提供定居优惠,等等。更是有一些成功的转换居住地的案例故事供参考。

不过,作者的眼界并不宽泛,所针对的读者,只是美国人。

虽然并没有搬家的打算,读读这样一本书,也可了解生活的其他可能性。
