This book is the story of what she discovered--and of how her search for answers became a journey toward a life of less stress and more leisure.\u003cbr\u003e Schulte's findings are illuminating, puzzling, and, at times, maddening: Being overwhelmed is even affecting the size of our brains. But she also encounters signs of real progress--evidence that what the ancient Greeks called \"the good life\" is attainable after all. Schulte talks to companies who are inventing a new kind of workplace; travels to countries where policies support office cultures that don't equate shorter hours with laziness (and where people actually get more done); meets couples who have figured out how to share responsibilities. Enlivened by personal anecdotes, humor, and hope, \u003ci\u003eOverwhelmed\u003c\/i\u003e is a book about modern life--a revelation of the misguided beliefs and real stresses that have made leisure feel like a thing of the past, and of how we can find time for it in the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brigid Schulte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250062381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250062383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/10\/2015 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/12\/2015 pg. 28","brand":"Brigid Schulte","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994960756991,"sku":"9781250062383","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e913c177-43c5-4d2c-bf8e-6faa4eff7ef6.jpg?v=1683333202","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/overwhelmed-brigid-schulte-9781250062383","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
