Book

No Vacation Required isn’t your typical self-help book. It’s a relatable, real-life guide to building a life you don’t need a break from—rooted in clarity, values, and everyday fulfillment. Learn how Kent and Caanan transformed their lives and how you can, too.

Build a Life You Don’t Need a Break From

A Journey into Every Day Fulfillment

There are plenty of books about chasing success, optimizing your schedule, or rewriting your entire story.

This isn’t one of them. No Vacation Required is an exercise in tuning in, getting clear, and building a life that feels like yours. Grounded in our story, this book isn't a theoretical program; it is a vulnerable, real-world account of how we walked away from "crushing it" in our careers to reclaim our connection to ourselves and each other.

From the pre-dawn silence of training for a marathon in the Seattle drizzle to standing breathless at the edge of a turquoise alpine lake in the French Alps, we share the personal breakthroughs and messy "crossroads" that resulted in living a life we don’t need a break from.

Forget chasing external answers or another new program promising you the moon. This book is about getting back in touch with the person who knows you best: you. The path to a meaningful life isn't found in a checklist or a perfectly curated feed – it’s found in self-knowledge and the growth that comes from that.

While the book stands alone as a guide for your own discovery, it also provides helpful context for those who eventually choose to move into the deep, high-touch work of our YouFinder Advisory.
