Laura Nguyen announces the upcoming release of her new book, Career
Break Compass: Navigating Your Path to a Balanced Life Through
Intentional Time Off, which is currently available for pre-order
and will launch on November 12, 2024. Published by The Collective
Book Studio, Career Break Compass is for mid- to senior-level
leaders who are high achieving, goal oriented decision makers who
find themselves losing momentum and drive from overwork, lack of
work-life balance, emotional exhaustion and more.
Sixty-two percent (62%) of employees have taken a career break,
and eighty-four percent (84%) of millennials expect to take a
career break. However, many do not have the tools or an intentional
plan.
Nguyen left her corporate executive job and embarked on a career
break to reset and redefine her life. After recognizing that she
was burned out, she researched science-based methods to recover
from burnout and interviewed over 170 professionals.
“In all of my interviews, there are two common challenges.
First, people feel they are the only ones experiencing burnout;
they feel alone,” Nguyen said. “Second, people go into a break
without a plan of how to spend the time, which interferes with
their ability to recharge and find the next role that’s right for
them.”
Rather than simply taking time off, she created an intentional
plan, breaking it into four sections:
The book provides guidance on each stage and shares stories from
Nguyen and her interviewees. Play is focused on disengaging from
work and re-igniting joy. Pause is intended for reflection and
meditation. Plan investigates the reader’s core values and how they
can incorporate them into their life and career. Pursue helps
prepare readers to successfully re-enter the workforce with more
alignment.
“Laura’s carefully thought out strategies for taking an
intentional break as a way to stop the burnout and reset your
work/life balance offers actionable and sustainable practices that
will recharge you—at home and in the office," says Fran Hauser,
Best Selling Author and Former Fortune 500 Media Executive.
The book is available for purchase through Amazon, Barnes and
Noble, as well as local bookstores. It will also be available on
Kindle and Audible.
