Do Pause: You Are Not a to Do List Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Robert Poynton (Author, Narrator), Penguin Audio (Publisher)

4.5 121 ratings

See all formats and editions

Machines are designed to run constantly; people aren't. Our coping mechanisms are meditation apps, weekend breaks and annual holidays, but things soon revert. To prosper, we need a more sustainable approach - an ability to pause.

Do Pause looks at the importance of this subtle yet powerful idea to communication, creativity, relationships - as well as our wellbeing and sanity. With practical tools to help you create new habits or make more significant lifestyle choices, you'll discover ways to:

Reset and regenerate
Deepen your thinking and experiences
Take back control of your time
Reconnect with other people - and yourself

From taking a breath to taking a sabbatical, a pause can be many things. And the good news is, even just a small pause every now and again can make a real and lasting difference.

Pause for Latins

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

Being Latin American I would say we sure have taken time to understand pauses. At home my parents took siestas and we have cherished the time we have as a family I have to agree that since I was a child we dud not gather around the table every single day as we have been doing during this pandemic period. If you ask me this book is more oriented towards countries where there is much wealth but little time to appreciate what they really have around them such as nature or family.

A book on pause that made me pause 😃

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

I found this book to be a breath of fresh air. An opportunity to step back, pause and reflect for a while. Something to help me see things in a different way and remind me of something I think we all really know - that a life without pause isn't healthy or productive. And that pauses (like the gaps in music) are essential and can bring so much value. This isn't so much a detailed 'how to' book (though there is practical advice) but rather a set of ideas and 'advice' of ways you might play with incorporating pause into your life in small and big ways. Well worth a read for anyone I think.

A wake-up call for those who believe busyness is best.

Reviewed in Australia on October 15, 2020

Engaging, thought provoking and challenging, while still being extremely helpful. A Pause will be very different for every person, in every season and situation, and is vital to sustained productivity. Endless busyness is not the answer.

Bought as a gift - was unexpected to the recipient who really liked and appreciated it. Said they learnt a lot :)

Inspiring and practical

Really enjoyed the mix of different perspectives and disciplines riffing around the idea of "pause"; and always with an eye to how we might practically integrate some of these habits and approaches. A pleasure to read and re-read!
