This message is critical to improving the quality of our lives in this harried society. It's been the theme of several books I've read, including Distracted by Maggie Jackson, and The Lonely American by Jacqueline Olds, MD and Richard Schwartz, MD. I know now that I'm an introvert, thanks to Marti Olsen Laney's book The Introvert Advantage, and that my trait makes it even more important for me to have "down time." It's not easy to do in this society but it's so important. There have been many articles published in the past year, in Scientific American and the Wall Street Journal, for example, that have stressed this, along with the futility of "multi-tasking." There's also an organization called "Take Back Your Time" that is trying to get this message across, and introduce federal legislation to require all employers to provide a minimum of 2 weeks paid vacation. Right now, in the United States, no employer is legally obligated to provide any paid vacation time to their employees. Thank you so much for this.
