Synopsis

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 audiobook, 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.

Questionable I’m pretty dubious about a lot of the stuff in here, especially once I found out that Gittleman’s phd is completely bunk. There are some good tips in here, some not so much. And The Change diet she touts is not sustainable.......more

Mediocre. My first read on the subject, will be looking for some books with a bit better scientific basis and explanations. Bought some flax seed oil and will consider a few other bits and bobs. Let me know if you have any suggestions for better books on this!......more
