Feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck? Discover the power of the pause.
 
Sometimes life throws you for a loop. You’re stressed out at your job; you’re torn between work and family; your motivation and productivity are taking a nosedive. Your impulse might be to lean in and tough it out, but what you may really need to do is take a step back. Reassess your life with a clear head and dive back in with purpose and poise. In this enlightening book, Rachael O’Meara guides you through the steps of your own pause journey:
- The signs that you’re in need of a meaningful break
- Planning your optimal pause—whether it’s as short as a day or as long as an epic journey
- Reentering the world with renewed clarity and purpose.
Incorporating the latest findings from psychology and neuroscience and peppered with inspiring stories of successful pauses, this book will show you that the fastest way to happiness is to slow down. Whether you pause by taking a five-minute walk outside, spending a day unplugged from digital devices, or taking a few weeks off to yourself, Pause will give you the tools to find what “lights you up” and the ability to lead the most satisfying and fulfilling life you choose.

      The premise of both of these books is that overworking and being on call 24/7 is wreaking havoc with health, personal relationships, and productivity.In Pause, transformation coach O'Meara offers the behavioral tool of "pausing"--taking a break and making an intentional shift to listen and align action with inner voice. A pause can be as simple as taking a five-minute walk outside or unplugging from digital devices for a day. O'Meara discusses the art of "mental flossing"--cleaning out mistaken beliefs--as well as practicing mindfulness and meditation throughout the day.

      In Take Back Your Weekend, award-winning journalist and author Onstad (Everybody Has Everything) proposes using weekends to slow down and step out of the rush of modern life. She provides history about the concept of "weekend" and updates readers on what some successful companies are now doing to help or hinder their employees' enjoyment of free time. Onstad details the many ways in which work such as caregiving, housecleaning, and entertaining may be integrated into "off time." VERDICT O'Meara delivers practical, bite-sized suggestions for embracing mental vacations throughout the day, while Onstad elaborates upon the problems encountered in taking a period of time off. Both volumes are recommended for reducing stress and improving well-being.
