DESCRIPTION:
Enjoying time between jobs This is a great book. I have read this before I quit my job and has helped me in realizing that I needed to relax and enjoy life.

Explored in depth are the nature of boredom (complaining is one sure sign), the value of work, inner passions and goals, and the potential maleficence of money.

Nor are the statistics, remarks, or observations unique. And that, for most overworked and undersatisfied Americans, amounts to an overwhelming task. His clear-as-a-bell message is that making the most of leisure involves knowing yourself inside and outside of work. But the notion of how to enjoy free time is finally geared to a mass market.
