This book is for anyone who's looking to get an overview of the various approaches to creating a more healthy, enjoyable, and productive work ethic. With the insights and methods described inside, readers will have quite a wide range of options in their toolbox to support their unique lifestyle.
I found the authors' voice approachable and personal, and I expect other people in the targeted age range (~18-35) will feel similarly. This is an easy read that engages the audience while also providing enough depth to come away with many tangible outcomes and several thought provoking insights. As someone with a background in psychology, cognitive science, and technology, I was already familiar with most of the topics covered. However, I found little nuggets of wisdom and clarity within to recommend this book to others even with a solid background on the subject already. I particularly enjoyed the focused deep dives into the various people discussed in the book. By examining the life and methods of individuals, hidden wisdom can be discovered that provides the personal touch to complement the necessary but often dry evidence distilled from science.
Another major highlight of this book is the artwork created by Mariya Suzuki. The sharp, sketch-style pieces breathe a preciously unique form of life that feels sadly unfamiliar to other self-help, productivity-based books in the same genre. You'll find these also have a gentle yet wonderfully potent effect on the reading experience.
Perhaps you'll find some nuggets of wisdom of your own inside. Hope you enjoy!

I was recommended this book by a friend as it had just been released, fittingly so, during the hight of the covid pandemic. Coincidentally, or not, shortly thereafter, protests and riots started in my home town and across the nation. It's an unsettling time, and this book was a welcomed reprieve from all the chaos. From this book, I gained countless actionable items to help me regain my "sanity" and sense of calm. I originally purchased this book because I was feeling burnt out in my career, thankfully it helped in many other areas of life as well. Thank you to the authors for collaboration on such an important piece of literature. I'm going to take a walk outside now, have a nice day!

Describing my previous lifestyle as hectic is an understatement. I worked too much and in my free time I stressed about work. It was an endless cycle and I was trapped in the middle of it.
My friend recommended TIME OFF and I have to admit, I was skeptical. I didn’t realize how stressed out I really was. After getting 3 chapters deep I started to apply some of the TIME OFF’s techniques to my lifestyle; just as a test, and to my surprise the results were shocking to say the least….
I found myself being more productive, more creative and actually more happy. I started to enjoy and use my free time more constructively which made me feel more carefree. Things started to change for me and for the better. Even my wife told me that I’m more fun to be around, did TIME OFF save my marriage?
This book was a quick and interesting read and it helped me when I didn’t realize that I needed a little help. Do yourself a favor and take a little TIME OFF
