Join us for a live taping of The Happiness Lab podcast with psychology professor Dr. Laurie Santos. In this episode, we explore why sabbaticals—an intentional extended leave from your job—can transform your career, reduce burnout and improve your life. Harvard Business School’s DJ DiDonna, founder of The Sabbatical Project, explains 3 types of sabbaticals and why they're crucial for your creativity, relationships, and performance. We’ll then discuss how to convince your boss, your colleagues and even yourself that a sabbatical isn’t just a long vacation, but a smart investment in your future.
