Take a Day Off — Print Edition (UK)

A reflective, quietly playful book about work, life, and paying attention

A thoughtfully produced paperback, designed to be held, browsed, and returned to.

What This Book Is

Take a Day Off is not a productivity guide.

It is not a leadership manual.

And it is not a manifesto about quitting work or escaping to the woods.

It is a creative reflection on modern working life—told through short stories, poems, and visual posters—for people who care about how they live inside their work.

Sometimes funny.

Sometimes uncomfortable.

Often familiar.

This is a book for noticing.

What You’ll Find Inside

The book includes:

• short stories about work, attention, and human behaviour
• poems reflecting on leadership, communication, culture, and identity
• two visual posters for every chapter
• one designed and deliberate
• one raw, photographic, and emotionally suggestive

The writing is observational, not instructional.

The visuals are there to carry feeling, not explanation.

You may recognise yourself—and begin asking quieter, better questions.

Who This Is For

This book is for people who:

• work—and sometimes wonder how they are working, not just what they are doing
• enjoy reflective writing more than advice
• appreciate humour, understatement, and honesty
• like books you can dip into, return to, and sit with
• value creative artefacts as much as frameworks

You do not need to be burnt out.

You do not need to be unhappy.

You only need to be paying attention.

Why This Book Exists

Most books about work try to fix you.

This one tries to notice.

Take a Day Off grew from a desire to explore working life honestly—to sit with its contradictions, absurdities, pressures, and quiet beauty, without turning everything into optimisation or instruction.

It is an early creative seed of Creative Soul Projects: a space for reflection, texture, and the life around the systems.
