    About this audiobook

    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.

      In this book "pausing" falls under the broader category of mindfulness. The author took a leave of absence from Google in order to sort out the next steps after receiving critical job reviews. Although few of us have the opportunity or money to take a 3 month sabbatical, her everyday applications are sound and practical. There is a lot of territory covered under such a simple subject. But simplicity is often the most difficult to achieve. In this case, there is self- introspection and emotional monitoring to guide our paths forward. If you believe in intuition and divine guidance then this book validates both.

      Worse than most self-help books, because it's dominant solution is centered on someone single enough, healthy enough, and rich enough to stop living their life for a while and collect themselves. If it had been a political/ sociological book on why we need better mental health care, more paid sick time and paid family leave, I'd have been on board. But while the author praises her (former?) employer Google for having a great program, she stops short of suggesting how workers might advocate for such programs for themselves.
