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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034434650352,"sku":"9781250062383","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781250062383_p0.jpg?v=1764098164","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781250062383","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
