Review "The premise of this book, Time Off, is that you can't maintain a great work ethic without having a great "rest ethic". You have to take time off, vacation, go on sabbatical, pause, rest, sleep, slack, play, and goof off in order to be and do your best. I've long been a champion of slack time and mandatory time off, and I am delighted all the arguments and evidence for this take are presented in this hefty book. Includes examples of very productive people, and the latest scientific evidence. Time off is not only essential to a good life, it is something you can get better at."  - Kevin Kelly, founding executive editor of Wired About the Author John Fitch is a business coach, angel investor, and writer.
