Childless Living offers an insightful exploration into the self-fulfilling lives of individuals who, by chance or choice, do not have children. This enlightening book delves into the myriad life choices people make regarding parenthood and unveils alternate ways to find purpose in life.
Based on a comprehensive global survey and over 50 in-depth interviews with childless and childfree individuals aged 19 to 91 from diverse cultures and backgrounds, the book provides readers with a broader context to understand the growing trend of leading a self-fulfilling, childless life.
In many countries, choosing not to have children is becoming more common, and this book discusses topics often left unspoken—how people without children spend their time and money, and most importantly, how they find purpose and fulfillment in their lives.
Author Lisette Schuitemaker, who herself was never drawn to family life, shares intimate conversations and surprising insights from her interviews with non-parenting individuals worldwide. From exhilarating to painful stories, these narratives reveal that choosing not to start a family is a valid and fulfilling path.
This book is a must-read for anyone who has not taken the path of parenthood, those with close family or friends leading self-directed lives without offspring, and anyone contemplating this essential life choice. It celebrates both the joys of parenting and the bravery of those following the lesser-known path of non-parenting.

El juguete rabioso es la primera novela del escritor Roberto Arlt –marcadamente autobiográfica– publicada en el año 1926 por la Editorial Latina. Sus manuscritos datan de la dĂ©cada de 1920 y fueron bosquejados por Arlt en las argentinas Sierras de CĂłrdoba, en una Ă©poca en la cual su mujer, Carmen, atacada por una complicada tuberculosis, debe instalarse en esas geografĂas para intentar una difĂcil mejorĂa.
Arlt, en tanto acompaña a su esposa e invierte una considerable suma de dinero en negocios que no fructifican, hace nacer a El Juguete Rabioso.
