There is a growing body of evidence about the benefits of vacation to our physical, mental, and fiscal health. New research from Shawn Achor, author of The Happiness Advantage, also shows that contrary to conventional wisdom, vacation just might be great for our career, too. Coinciding with this is recent discussion in the business media that since “work” no longer adheres to the traditional 9-5, and technology allows us to be connected anywhere and everywhere, perhaps those longer work hours should be reconciled with more time off.
