Reboot Your Life

Give yourself the gift of time—and learn how to utilize it.

More and more Americans are choosing to take time off from work to relax or re-examine their priorities, so they can ultimately return to work energized. Some companies offer formal sabbatical programs, but how can the average person take enough time off to evaluate their direction, explore their passions, and make time for the things that are really important?

Whether you're burned out in your career, yearning to follow a dream, or even taking time after a layoff, don’t forget to step back and reboot. Give yourself the best gift of all—time. People who take sabbaticals report feeling happier, returning to their jobs refreshed, reinvigorated, and physically and emotionally ready to tackle new challenges.

Reboot Your Life draws upon the experiences of the four authors and their interview subjects: 200 people who have taken sabbaticals, and 150 organizations offering sabbatical programs. The book includes real-life stories and exercises to help the reader figure out how to plan for and take a sabbatical, or how to use unexpected time off.
