Author Tanya Stevenson presents a groundbreaking guide that redefines success by challenging the relentless “hustle” mentality, encouraging readers to reclaim their time, presence, and purpose.
Binghamton, New York – October 24, 2025 – What if the path to greater achievement involved learning to halt? In The Wild Pause: How to Win Time and Influence Yourself, author Tanya Stevenson overturns conventional productivity wisdom, asserting that genuine progress stems not from acceleration but from deliberate intention.
Combining elements of memoir, self-development, and a reflective workbook, The Wild Pause extends an invitation to revive what Stevenson describes as “the lost art of stopping.” In a world that celebrates constant activity and perpetual connectivity, her message is both radical and refreshing: embracing a pause can be the most potent act of leadership and self-influence one can undertake.
Drawing upon her personal experience of stepping away from a high-pressure corporate career, Stevenson interweaves individual anecdotes with structured reflections and mindfulness practices. These tools assist readers in crafting their unique “wild pause“—whether that entails a sabbatical, an off-grid weekend, or simply integrating moments of stillness between daily tasks.
“We are conditioned to gauge our worth by our output,” Stevenson observes. “But when you pause, you reconnect with the individual behind that output—yourself.”
At the core of the book is the S.E.E.K Framework, a structured approach for restoring balance through Stillness, Exploration, Empathy, and Knowing. Each principle empowers readers to shed the guilt associated with rest and confront the fallacy of being indispensable. The result is a practical yet profound guide to living with mindful presence, free from relentless pressure.
Unlike many business books that advocate for intensified strategy, speed, and scaling, The Wild Pause ushers in a more subdued revolution. Stevenson challenges leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone trapped in cycles of overwork to re-envision rest as a strategic advantage, a powerful catalyst for creativity, clarity, and emotional resilience.
Elegantly written and profoundly human, The Wild Pause does not promise immediate transformation. Instead, it offers something far more elusive in today’s business landscape: permission to simply breathe.
Whether aspiring to an extended period away or merely seeking an hour of quiet between continuous calls, Stevenson’s message is clear—you needn’t escape your current life to change it. You only need to stop long enough to truly perceive it.
