Gone For Lunch

Gone for Lunch is for everyone who wants to reclaim their lunch break – whether they have a whole hour, or just 30 minutes to spare. In this friendly, fun and inspirational book, there’s a challenge for every week of the year. Each activity is designed to be suitable for anyone anywhere – at home or at work, in the city or the countryside.

After failing to take a lunch break for several weeks, Laura Archer set herself a lunchtime challenge for every week of the year and began chronicling her escapades. Drawing buildings, trying yoga classes, volunteering, going for bike rides, handwriting letters: her challenges ranged from indoor to outdoor, active to sedentary, and the effect they had on her was magical. She discovered old flames, past joys, new hobbies. By claiming back that single hour in the middle of the day, Laura turned her life into something richer and happier – a simple change, with wondrous consequences. Now you can be inspired by her ideas too!
