______________________ Too much to do? Stop and read this - Guardian For a fresh take on an eternal dilemma, Overwhelmed is worth a few hours of any busy woman⠙s life ⠓ if only to ensure that she doesn⠙t drop off the bottom of her own ⠜To Do⠝ list - Mail on Sunday______________________In her attempts to juggle work and family life, Brigid Schulte has baked cakes until 2 a.m., frantically (but surreptitiously) sent important emails during school trips and then worked long into the night after her children were in bed. Realising she had become someone who constantly burst in late, trailing shoes and schoolbooks and biscuit crumbs, she began to question, like so many of us, whether it is possible to be anything you want to be, have a family and still have time to breathe. So when Schulte met an eminent sociologist who studies time and he told her she enjoyed thirty hours of leisure each week, she thought her head was going to pop off. What followed was a trip down the rabbit hole of busy-ness, a journey to discover why so many of us find it near-impossible to press the ⠘pause⠙ button on life and what got us here in the first place. Overwhelmed maps the individual, historical, biological and societal stresses that have ripped working mothers⠙ and fathers⠙ leisure to shreds, and asks how it might be possible for us to put the pieces back together. Seeking insights, answers and inspiration, Schulte explores everything from the wiring of the brain and why workplaces are becoming increasingly demanding, to worldwide differences in family policy, how cultural norms shape our experiences at work, our unequal division of labour at home and why it⠙s so hard for everyone ⠓ but women especially ⠓ to feel they deserve an elusive moment of peace.______________________ Every parent, every caregiver, every person who feels besieged by permanent busyness, must read this book - Anne-Marie Slaughter, author of Why Women Still Can t Have It All

#39;Fantastic #39; - Cal Newport #39;A bold vision ... lights the way to fewer hours, less stress, and more meaning #39; - Adam Grant Workers across all demographics, industries, and socioeconomic levels report exhaustion, burnout, and the wish for more meaningful lives. Drawing on years of research, Brigid Schulte traces the arc of our discontent from a time before the 1980s, when work was more compatible with well-being and many jobs enabled a single earner to support a family, until today, with millions of people working multiple hourly jobs or in white-collar positions where no hours are ever off duty.She casts a wide net in search of solutions, exploring the movement to institute a four-day workweek, introducing Japan #39;s Housewives Brigade - which demands legal protection for family time - and embedding with CEOs who are making the business case for humane conditions. Rich with stories and informed by deep investigation, Over Work lays out a clear vision for ending our punishing grind and reclaiming leisure, joy, and meaning.

Rozsáhlá sága začíná v polovině 19. století na moravském venkově a pokračuje ve Vídni přes bezhlavý útěk před nacisty až po těžce vydobytou novou existenci v Americe. Výraznou roli přisoudila autorka prastrýci Ottovi Flatterovi, malíři, který v roce 1932 vyřezal a omaloval lepenkové figurky znázorňující některé členy rodiny. Jeho loutkové divadlo přečkalo dramata exilu a zachovalo se dodnes. Paměti předků Brigid Graumanové představují pozoruhodný dar z minulosti, zároveň neodolatelnou pozvánku k objevování světa, do něhož rodina patřila. Být Židem nebylo nikdy lehké, nejen kvůli předsudkům ostatních lidí, ale i Židů samotných, píše Brigid Graumanová a předkládá příběh vlastní rodiny v průběhu dvou století. Rodinnou historii mapuje prostřednictvím sedmi předků, ztělesňujících rozličné formy židovství, kteří po sobě zanechali memoáry. Přestože každý z těchto memoárů je jiný svým charakterem a zaměřením, autory kromě krve spojuje ještě jedno - všichni byli běženci, cizinci v zemích, kde se nikdy necítili doma.
