Take A Day Off - Life beyond the grind

About the Book

Over the course of our lives, we spend around 90,000 hours at work. That's a lot.

How can we get the most from those hours, so we look back with pride, rather than regret?

Take a Day Off is a collection of stories, poems, and insights that challenge our work-obsessed culture.

You'll meet Malcolm, whose seagull encounter taught him a karmic lesson; The Slipping Man, rescued by a kind stranger; and Prickles the Cat, a master of neighbourly mischief.

Dive into poems about communication and the enigmatic "Manager," and discover practical advice to build a fulfilling work life.

Each chapter is accompanied by two unique posters – one designed, one gritty "urban graffiti" – reflecting the dual nature of our work experiences.

Don't let your life be defined by "what ifs." Start taking your days off, and reclaim your time.

---

Take a Day Off is available as this beautifully designed digital book.

There is also a limited edition print run (UK only) that can be found on cultivatedmanagement.com

The print book is A5 in size and printed on high quality gloss paper. Each of the posters is printed within the book in beautiful colour, rendered perfectly on the paper.

The book will be wrapped and include a personalised thank you note. Shipped as soon as ordered. UK only.

About the Author

Rob Lambert
Rob Lambert

Rob didn’t set out to be a business coach, consultant, or speaker. He began as a journalist and publisher, chasing stories about people and ideas  — and trained as a media communication scientist, learning how to cut through complexity and share ideas in ways people actually understand. 

That curiosity eventually pulled him into the world of tech — building products, leading teams, and riding the full start-up → scale-up → sale journey.

Along the way he discovered what really makes organisations succeed: not just talent, but clarity, creativity, communication, and continuous learning.

Rob went on to hold senior roles; VP of Software Engineering (twice), VP of HR, Head of Communication and Head of Agility— and those experiences now shape the work he does with leaders and teams.

Through Cultivated Management, his books, workshops, and keynotes, Rob helps organisations cut through complexity, align around value, and create cultures where people thrive.

He’s also the co-host of Stationery Freaks, a podcast for those who love notebooks, pens, and the analogue tools of creativity.

Rob lives in Winchester, England with his wife and three sons. Outside of work, he’s a keen photographer, film maker, and car enthusiast.

Rob is the founder and director of Cultivated Management.

Rob is the founder of Creativesoulprojects.

Rob is also a co-host of Stationery Freaks podcast.
