You Need a (Better) Vacation

By Jennica B Day

Discover the secret to life-changing vacations

Society often celebrates individuals for putting in long hours, but the modern epidemic of overwork has grave consequences on health and longevity-burnout, depression, anxiety, sleep problems, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and even death.

If you're feeling stressed, burned out, or just too busy, the problem isn't you, it's your vacations. Vacations represent one of the most effective ways we can boost our health and wellness, but the concept hasn't been given the scientific attention and analysis it deserves-until now.

In You Need a (Better) Vacation, Jennica Day argues that we dramatically undervalue occupational breaks and that we should treat work recovery the same way we treat athletic recovery, as necessary for optimal performance. Drawing from a wealth of research and personal experiences, she dispels myths surrounding vacations, offers a framework for designing vacations, and unveils the innovative Vacation Hero Method, a strategy to increase happiness by 11 percent and unlock the full potential of vacations.

You Need a (Better) Vacation will reshape the way you think about vacations and give you the tools and techniques you need to optimize your time off. You will never vacation the same again.
