Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Is there a way to take the break you long for--the archaeological dig in Costa Rica, the film-making course in Los Angeles, the six-month hike along the coast of Newfoundland--without sacrificing your home, family, career, and savings? You bet. For every excuse you've ever harbored as to why you can't fulfill your heart's desires, the authors have a solution. This is a take-action, how-to book for any grown-up who still believes in summer vacations.
From Booklist
Personnel and management literature has well documented the benefits of employee sabbaticals and leaves of absence. They offer a cure for burnout, serve as incentives, reinvigorate employees, and allow workers time to resolve personal problems that may be interfering with their work. More than 70 percent of U.S. companies have some sort of leave policy on the books, but the reality for most employees is that such time off is but a dream. The three authors of this guide, all writers and journalists who have taken sabbaticals, demonstrate that it can be done. On the basis of interviews with more than 200 persons who have successfully taken time off, they show how to construct and present a proposal to one's employer, and discuss the psychological effects of such leaves on oneself and one's friends and coworkers. Included are a resource guide profiling grants, health insurance alternatives, house swapping agencies, internships, etc., and a "fantasy" catalog showing more than 50 programs offering "creative escapes." Recommended for both popular and management collections. David Rouse

I found Six Months Off to be a phenomenal help in planning a sabbatical. The book gave me an an entire, but concise, philosophy or way of thinking about my sabbatical. The book also gave me a concrete and useful strategy for planning the sabbatical, covering ALL the bases from how to tell my boss to how to save money to places to help plan the actual time off and, then, finally for how I could re-enter the work force again. Truly phenomenal. The authors, led by Hope Dlugozima, have hit a home run with me.

After reading this book I started planning my six months off. I spent the last six months of 1998 on vacation and in three months of training for a career change. This book helped make the journey possible. Read it ahead of time while planning for your time off.

I was interviewed by the authors back in 1994/95 as they were writing this book. When the book was published, I was blown away at what a great job they did accumulating and organizing the information. If you are dreaming about taking some extended time off, buy this book and you'll see how easy it is!
