Machines are designed to run constantly; people aren t. Our coping mechanisms are meditation apps, weekend breaks and annual holidays, but things soon revert. To prosper, we need a more sustainable approach an ability to pause. Do Pause looks at the importance of this subtle yet powerful idea to communication, creativity, relationships as well as our wellbeing and sanity. With practical tools to help you create new habits or make more significant lifestyle choices, you ll discover ways to: reset and regenerate; deepen your thinking and experiences; take back control of your time; and reconnect with other people and yourself. From taking a breath to taking a sabbatical, a pause can be many things. And the good news is, even just a small pause every now and again can make a real and lasting difference.
Robert Poynton lives in an off-grid, solar-powered house just outside the small town of Arenas de San Pedro in rural Spain. By way of contrast, he also spends a significant amount of time in Oxford, where he is an Associate Fellow of the Said Business School at the University of Oxford. His work there is practical not academic he designs and runs executive education programs, helping senior leaders understand and work with complex change, via a playful approach developed from improvisational theatre. Many of his friends regard his entire career as one long pause. He is also the author of Do Improvise (Do Books, 2013) and Do Conversation (Do Books, 2024).
