Course overview
Have you ever thought about the benefits of taking time off from work? A recent study found that Americans only use 77% of their paid time off. Why is this? Many fear returning to a mountain of work. Others can't afford to take a vacation. By not using all of their paid time off, the average U.S. worker effectively donates over $600 of work time to their employer. Aside from the financial aspect, what's the motivation for taking time off from work? That's what we'll be discussing in this course.
