The Sabbatical Handbook
Welcome to my smol book. I'm here to help you deal with professional stagnation and burnout, two perils of modern work life often found together. And my answer for these ills might sound counterintuitive at first, but I've tested this knowledge over and over and it has stood up to all the tests.

My answer is to relax, to fall in love with life and to connect with one's authentic purpose by going walkabout. Or as the moderns call it - on sabbatical.

The book is a work in progress. This table of contents will shift and churn as we find our way to the correct book. Thank you for reading your feedback, and your financial support :-)

cheers
