Work Life

In Work Life: Working Remotely from Bali to Boardroom, Melinda Jacobs takes readers from coworking spaces in Bali to corporate offices in North America to look at how remote work is changing what it means to have a desk job. Combining personal experiences and research on traditional and changing workplaces, she explores coworking, remote work, and the evolving office from within, exposing their opportunities and contradictions. By presenting an updated set of options for the modern worker, she asks, If you could work from anywhere, where would you go? What would your work life look like? Melinda Jacobs is an entrepreneur and writer, who has spent most of her career working online, both by choice and circumstance. She holds an HBA (Hons) from the University of Toronto (Trinity College), where she was a Loran Scholar, and an MFA from the University of King's College.
