Are We Really Too Busy? Laurie Santos on the ‘Time Crisis’

Summary

The discussion explores whether a "time crisis" is real, positing that structural factors and the fragmentation of time into "time confetti" contribute to this feeling, despite data suggesting people have more free time than before. Referencing Juliet Schor and Brigid Schulte, it suggests that countries with shorter work weeks like Denmark have higher club membership and happiness. The takeaway is that strategically restructuring work weeks and reclaiming fragmented time for more meaningful activities is crucial for well-being.
