Anne Helen Petersen

From acclaimed writer and Buzzfeed cultural columnist Anne Helen Petersen comes an incendiary examination of burnout in millennials, probing the social conditions that feed the pervasive anxiety, powerlessness, and disenfranchisement that have defined this generation.

How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation

Can't Even

You know the type: the woman who won't shut up, who's too brazen, too opinionated - too much. She's the unruly woman, and she embodies one of the most provocative and powerful forms of womanhood today. In Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud, popular BuzzFeed columnist Anne Helen Petersen examines this phenomenon, using the lens of 'unruliness' to discuss the ascension of pop culture powerhouses like Amy Schumer, Nicki Minaj, and Caitlyn Jenner, and why the public loves to love (and hate) these controversial figures.

Charlie Warzel

A future-looking, game-changing book about the radical transformational potential of working from home. If you think you're working from home during the pandemic, Charlie Warzel and Anne Helen Petersen are here to tell you otherwise. What we're doing right now is something else, a jury-rigged compromise made under the duress of a national crisis that's satisfactory for neither the worker nor the employer. But they also see that the past few months have revealed that there may be another way to go to work on a more permanent basis, one that doesn't involve hellish daily commutes and the demands of jampacked work schedules that no longer make sense for our time. As a society we have talked for decades about flexible work arrangements, and, as the authors make clear, we may finally be at an inflection point where this becomes possible for almost everyone. Out of Office combines groundbreaking reporting and the couple's first-person experiences after they made the decision to leave their desk jobs in New York City for Montana. They describe how workers and employers across America, and around the world, are finding new ways of working that make people happier and more productive, and companies more profitable. This is a book that aims to reshape our entire relationship to the office, and outline a path toward a new kind of work-life balance that can improve our lives and strengthen our communities.

The Burnout Generation

A game-changing book about the revolutionary potential of working from home, by two experts who work -- and live -- together. When the COVID-19 pandemic closed offices around the world, sending millions into makeshift home offices, it was a forced compromise made under duress. But 2020 taught us that there may be another way to work: one that doesn't involve hellish commutes and set schedules that no longer make sense, especially for companies with international reach. While working from home can make people happier and make companies more productive, it has its pitfalls. Doing it well takes some thought. Out of Officecombines Charlie and Anne's first-person experiences of moving to a rural area and working remotely -- for years before the pandemic hit -- to demonstrate how workers everywhere can find new ways of working anywhere.

"Bezwzględna rywalizacja, romanse, depresje, narkotyki i tajemnicze zgony. Za legendą złotej ery Hollywood stoją dramaty największych gwiazd. Kochamy ich za niezapomniane role filmowe. Ale czy wiemy coś o ich prawdziwym życiu? Pola Negri – mistrzyni kontrolowanej plotki o samej sobie Rudolf Valentino – pierwszy metroseksualny obiekt uwielbienia Judy Garland – brzydkie kaczątko Hollywood uwięzione w roli wiecznego dziecka Jean Harlow – platynowa piękność, którą zabiła farba do włosów Marlon Brando – ekscentryczny geniusz czy głupek i amator? W Fabryce Snów o tym, kto zostanie gwiazdą, decydowały studia filmowe i media. Niefortunna pogłoska mogła zniszczyć karierę i życie. Skandale tuszowano. Manipulowano rodzinnymi tragediami. Aktorzy byli więźniami własnego wizerunku, a jedno potknięcie zmieniało uwielbienie publiczności we wrogość. W książce Anne Helen Petersen plotka przeplata się z historią. "
