Time Off! the Upside to Downtime (Paperback)

There's more to life than a job. Time Off! The Upside to Downtime encourages readers to celebrate their free time, whether on leave, unemployed, or just looking for more to do beyond 9-5. Bursting with suggestions on how to reject overwork and live more leisurely, the book shows readers how to negotiate sabbaticals, save money on the road, rediscover love and community, travel the world, and volunteer. For those with more downtime than they'd like, there are practical resources, such as help filling out unemployment forms. Inspiring real-life stories of "Unemployed Odysseys" from across the United States help readers get past "unemployment guilt," making the book an ideal resource for unemployed workers. Time Off! The Upside to Downtime features sharp, readable prose that lends a light attitude to serious topics, making the book an essential guide to not working.
