'A powerful argument, and practical advice, on the importance of
reclaiming your leisure time to live a happier and more fulfilling
life' - Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of Better
Than Before and The Happiness Project Encroaching work demands -
coupled with domestic chores, overbooked schedules, and the
incessant pinging of our devices - have taken a toll on what used
to be our free time: the weekend. With no space to tune out and
recharge, every aspect of our lives is suffering: our health is
deteriorating, our social networks (the face-to-face kind) are
dissolving and our productivity is down. The notion of working less
and living more has given way to the belief that you must be 'on'
24/7. Tired of suffering from Sunday-night let down, award-winning
journalist Katrina Onstad pushes back against this all-work-no-fun
ethos. Onstad follows the trail of people, companies and countries
vigilantly protecting their time off for joy, adventure and
meaning, and digs into the history, positive psychology and
cultural anthropology of the great missing weekend. The Weekend
Effect reveals that taking back those precious forty-eight hours is
the key to increasing joy, creativity, productivity and success. It
will be your persuasive, practical and much-needed guide to
reclaiming your time off and, ultimately, saving yourself.
