"A sabbatical might be the most important career move you ever make. Read this book to see why---and how to do it." ---Arthur C. Brooks, harvard professor and #1 New York Times bestselling author

A guide to transforming your well-being and your career through purposeful time off, from Harvard Business School Senior Lecturer and founder of the Sabbatical Project. Our world of work prioritizes the urgent , but the most important moments of our life rarely happen at a desk. In Big Time Off , Sabbatical Project founder DJ DiDonna explores a simple but radical idea: sabbaticals help us avoid sleepwalking through life by giving us time to be present in moments of celebration, difficulty, and transition. Integrating original research and compelling stories of sabbatical-takers from all walks of life---from teachers and nonprofit leaders to startup founders and Fortune 500 employees---Big Time Off explores why extended time away from work has such a profound effect on people's identity, relationships, creativity, and direction. You'll learn:

*** When to take a sabbatical---and how to avoid waiting for a crisis to take off.

• Why sabbaticals---unlike vacations---help you forge a new career path, feel human again, and live a more authentic life.
• How to navigate your sabbatical using archetypes---the explorer, the seeker, and the achiever---and avoid common pitfalls.
• Best practices for individuals---no matter the circumstances---and organizations of all sizes to make extended leave possible and sustainable.**

Whether you dream of making a big change, exploring the world, or simply carving out space to heal, think, and recalibrate, Big Time Off is your guide to creating a richer, more intentional life.
