I loved reading this book! I found the quotes at the beginning of each chapter to be inspiring and thought-provoking. The author's story along with the real life stories of people she's talked with prove that you're not alone in feeling burned out. The book is bursting with tips, exercises and experience to guide you through a career break, whether short or long. This book is well-worth your time.

First, I want to thank the author, Laura Nguyen, for the advance copy. All reviews are my own and not influenced in any shape or form.

Burnout is real. Although I think most people will look at this book and think "I can't do this!" the author wants people to know that burnout affects not just the person with the symptoms, but also all those around them. The book is thoroughly researched and gives readers steps and resources that everyone can use in order to deal with maintaining a work/life balance. The book is witty and has great examples and antidotes that are inspiring. I really loved the tie to the water and personal story Nguyen adds. The quotes are also a great touch.

This book was absolutely wonderful!! I am a mom of four. And I will say the taking intentional time is tough. This book lays it out beautifully. Just beautifully written and wonderfully put together.
