"Time off for good behaviour: How hardworking women can take a break and change their lives"

By: Mary Lou Quinlan

Mary Lou had pushed herself to CEO of a New York advertising agency and was reaching burnout. "Time Off for Good Behavior is the result of listening to women like her, who realized enough was enough. Quinlan tells the stories of dozens of women who sacrificed their health, relationships, their good humor and a good night’s sleep until they found the courage to ask themselves if they were happy with the life they were living and made the decisions to take a life-saving break."

The book talks alot about "Type A" good girls - eager, master multi-taskers, optomistic, driven by success, people-pleasers, overacheivers.

Entering the marketing/business world in 2 days!! This book was a huge eye-opener on how to keep your sanity in a creative career. As a "Type A" girl I am always trying to push/prove myself that I can do better. I need to make sure in the process I do not stress myself out and lose the passion that I am going into the job with.
