Take Back Your Time: Fighting Overwork and Time Poverty in AmericaBerrett-Koehler Publishers, 3 sept. 2003 - 291 pages A look at the impact of time famine in America and how ordinary citizens can turn things around to achieve a more balanced life for themselves. Forget oil or gold time is the most precious commodity in America today. Americans have less free time than anyone else in the industrialized world. In fact, modern Americans work longer hours than medieval peasants. Here, well known experts and writers explore the effects of overwork, over-scheduling, time pressure, and stress on our health, relationships, children, the environment, and more. These renowned authors come together to support a national movement to Take Back Your Time, and they propose personal corporate, and legislative solutions. Take Back Your Time is the official handbook of the national movement behind Take Back Your Time Day. Ultimately, Take Back Your Time Day organizers plan to institute public policies that put work in its rightful place and allow us all to live richer, fuller, more well-rounded lives. |
