''New Escapologist'' is a UK-based lifestyle magazine. It takes the stance that work has too central a position in western life and that work, consumption and pursuit of social status too often take precedence over happiness, liberty, and unstructured leisure.〔(Escapology: Another way to look at Findependence ) ''MoneySense''. 11 October 2013.
