Dal risvolto di copertina interno

After dutifully climbing the corporate ladder for over two decades, Mary Lou Quinlan had arrived. She was one of only a handful of female CEOs in the cutthroat world of advertising, and was rewarded for her backbreaking work with power and success. Yet somewhere along the way, Mary Lou had lost herself. She felt stifled, disconnected, and desperately in need of a break. Time Off for Good Behavior tells the story of her unprecedented decision to walk away from her career at the top of her game and take a life-altering five-week sabbatical that would open her eyes to her own desires as never before. The result of her breathing space? The creation of a successful marketing company that targets the needs of women. In a flurry of media coverage from The Wall Street Journal and Business Week to The New York Times and O magazine, Mary Lou became the poster girl for life change.

Weaving together her own story with that of 37 other successful women who have taken life-changing breaks, she shows that women have the choice not only to opt out or drop out but also to step away, gain perspective, and forge happier and more successful lives.

Millions of American women are burned out. In Time Off for Good Behavior, Quinlan lays out a game plan that empowers women in all stages of their careers to take a break. She gives practical tools and supportive advice to help readers take bold steps, and ultimately shows how walking away from everything often means ending up with so much more.
