Time Off challenges the myth that constant hustle equals success. Written by former workaholics John Fitch and Max Frenzel, this practical guide shows how deliberate rest, leisure and downtime are not indulgences but essential ingredients for sustainable creativity, better leadership and genuine long-term achievement in work and life. About the Book After both hitting breaking points in demanding careers, business coach John Fitch and AI researcher Max Frenzel set out to understand why so many driven, talented people burn out despite working harder than ever. Time Off: A Practical Guide to Building Your Rest Ethic and Finding Success Without the Stress is the result: a thoroughly researched, refreshingly practical manual for building a "rest ethic" as strong as your work ethic. Drawing on historical examples of great thinkers alongside interviews with today's most successful innovators, the authors show that intentional time off is a strategic advantage rather than a guilty pleasure. The book walks readers through concrete tactics for disconnecting from work without guilt, explains why leisure will become an increasingly valuable skill in an automated future, and offers frameworks for using rest to sharpen focus and spark creativity. Illustrated throughout by Mariya Suzuki, it blends storytelling, behavioural science and actionable exercises so readers can start rebuilding their relationship with rest immediately. Whether you are a burnt-out executive or simply someone who feels perpetually "switched on," Time Off offers a clear, evidence-based path back to balance and meaningful productivity.
