Produktbeschreibung

"Following Overwhelmed--Brigid Schulte's ... examination of time management and stress--the prize-winning journalist now turns her attention to the greatest culprit in America's quality-of-life crisis: the way our economy and culture conceive of work.

Rezensionen

'In her fantastic new book, Brigid Schulte combines meticulous research with compelling profiles to argue that the exhausting way we work today is a choice. More sustainable and equitable options are possible, but only if we're willing to engage at the societal level in the hard but necessary work of making needed change' Cal Newport New York Times bestselling author of Slow Productivity and Digital Minimalism
