I was deep in the hustle culture, convinced more hours meant more progress. But it was quietly destroying my focus, my energy, and my home life. Coming home checked out with nothing left to give.
The way we’ve been taught to work is broken. We glorify the hours and lose sight of why we’re doing the work in the first place. Rest gets treated like laziness. And the weight of our workday follows us everywhere.
Intentional focus and intentional rest aren’t the opposites of productivity, they’re the engine of it. Protect your focus, recover with purpose, and you get more done, still have plenty left for real life.
That’s what this book is about.

The science is clear: more breaks, better work, better life. This book is the permission you’ve been waiting for. Personally, I recommend napping.

Most companies think they can have impressive revenue or happy employees – but not both at the same time. John Briggs proves that you can have your cake and enjoy eating it too! Take Breaks, Work Better teaches leaders how to run a high performance business that produces results while protecting employees’ quality of life in the process.

Take Breaks, Work Better isn’t a permission slip to slack off. It’s a practical operating system for doing your best work without running your nervous system into the ground. You’ll show up with more clarity, more presence, and more consistency because you’re not trying to lead on fumes. I’m applying it to my life, now!

I love simple systems that significantly improve work. John Briggs built just that. Take Breaks, Work Better shows how the right breaks drive better results. If you want more output with less burnout, start here.

A lot of founders try to scale through grit, hustle, and grind. And it works… for about 5 minutes. Then the wheels come off. John Briggs nails the real constraint to growth: you can’t scale a business with an exhausted brain and a broken spirit. Take Breaks, Work Better is a simple operating system for sustained focus, better decisions, and consistent execution. If you want a scalable company, you need a scalable YOU. And that’s exactly what this book gives you.

Take breaks, Work Better is the system (and book) you need to achieve sustainable success on your terms. John has proven that it is possible to both achieve unparalleled success and a rich life.
John Briggs followed the path most accountants dream of. He studied at BYU, earned his Masters in Tax, got his CPA, landed a position at a Big 4 firm, then started his own business. By every measurable standard, he had made it.
But something was missing.
Everything he had worked so hard to build was coming at the cost of what actually mattered most, his life outside of work with his family. That realization sent him down a different path. One focused on doing meaningful work without sacrificing everything else in the process.
Today John runs an 8 figure accounting firm and helps professionals build a better relationship with their work. Take Breaks, Work Better is the book that came out of that journey.
