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.
