The weekend effect : the life-changing benefits of taking time off and challenging the cult of overwork
In a book that is part investigation, part personal odyssey, journalist Katrina Onstad searches for the lost weekend, and, crucially, how we can get it back. The weekend - the once-sacred 48 hours of leisure - has been lost to overbooked schedules, pinging devices and encroaching work demands. Journalist Katrina Onstad, suffering herself from Sunday-night letdown, digs into the history, positive psychology and the cultural anthropology of the great missing weekend. She pushes back against the all-work-no-fun ethos and follows the trials of people, companies and countries who are vigilantly protecting their weekends.
