Sabbaticals are no longer just for academics and clergy: they are for us too! How many of us can honestly say we do not experience stress at work? In this day and age, stress and pressure are just part of life for most of us. New technologies mean we are never really ‘off-duty’, resulting in extended working days, reduced time off and disconnection from our communities and even our families. A two-week holiday as a traditional cure for work-life imbalance, stress and career stagnation is no longer working - so what can we do? The solution is a planned, focused, extended break from everyday life and work - a sabbatical. This book provides the inspiration and guidelines you need to harness the power of a sabbatical in a way that can actually improve your career and earning prospects while at the same time improving your personal and spiritual life. 144pp, 152mm x 229mm, softback, 2007
