A Work Life Imbalance
“As the sociologist Jamie K. McCallum writes in ‘Worked Over: How Round-the-Clock Work Is Killing the American Dream’, Americans work too long and too hard, while others lack consistency in their hours and schedules. Work hours declined for a century through hard-fought labor-movement victories, but they’ve increased significantly since the seventies. Americans have fewer paid holidays than workers in other countries, and the United States is all but alone in having no guaranteed maternity leave and no legal right to sick leave or vacation time. Meanwhile, we’re told to love work! We’re led to believe that working hard will pay off. A well-established cottage industry has goaded us to find our meaning in it, as if work were a family, or a religion, or a body of knowledge given by God.”
A pre-order purchase of the paperback right now really will help the book far more than buying it later. And if you decide to give away copies of my book as gifts to family and friends or to those you work with - say to everyone you know :) - please pre-order those extra copies today. This is when you can really help out most. In today's nutty book world pre-orders are "where it's at."
