'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 Years ago Katrina Onstad was
an au pair in France. Every Sunday, as best as she could tell,
France shut down. No one worked; no one shopped for groceries, or
did any kind of shopping. It felt like a ritual, sacred and
culturally protected. Now, her weekends are more like a laundry
list of to-do items dashed off between hockey training, doing
actual laundry, checking emails, working on an assignment, and on
and on. She began to do research to see if she was alone in feeling
like weekends are almost non-existent anymore. As she dug further,
she realized that this feeling was almost universal. Filled with
rich research and stories, as well as her own struggles, Katrina
takes us through the negative impact that losing our downtime has
on all areas of our lives. She'll show us how some people and
companies are already taking steps to eliminate the relentless
7-day-a-week availability that modern work life seems to require.
Not anti-technology, rather this is about a return to the ritual of
weekend.
