Great book helped me tremendously in keeping a positive perspective on my Time Off as I look for the next Career Adventure. I love that most of the research has been completed and now I just have to decide day by day how I make my part of the world better for me and all around me at a budget of course. Anybody who has time off right now should pick up this book and see what ideas they can explore. All I can Say is get out there and have a cheap and meaningful adventure. YAY!

Relax! You're a smart, talented individual. How do you think you got your last job? Now, stop and think... how often do I get time off? Never is right. So, if you find yourself out of work (like I did) don't stress. Pick up a copy of this book and spend a few days in the park. You'll be surprised by all your options -- these guys have done all the work for you! And if you're stuck in a grind of a job, give some serious thought about taking some "Time Off" yourself. They'll get by without you, and you just might gain a fresh persepctive on what's really important to you in YOUR life -- remember, you only have one... don't waste it!

O.K., so I would probably fall into the middle bell curve of the population that endures their specific work life to support their real life. For those that are in this category (and worse) then there are some useful morsels in this book that might help to lift your spirits or even inspire some adventurous life outside the box. Some previous negative reviews struck me as coming from souls that are rigidly programmed and if that describes yourself, then be forewarned, this book is not about coloring within the lines. After all, if you are not happy with the present picture, then why would you continue to live by the same set of constraints?

Great book. Useful and informative. I enjoyed the theme of lighthearted fun since it was backed up with useful information. A valuable resource for anyone thinking of taking tmie off (hard to do), and even more so for anyone thinking of taking time off and staying put (even harder to do). Pick up this book for now and the future as it is a great reminder about what's important in life...

Eminently useful book, particularly suitable for every American who is living in this brainwashing, software implanting mind time, with robotic job slavery.
