The weekend effect : the life-changing benefits of taking time off and challenging the cult of overwork
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Katrina Onstad, pushes back against this all-work, no-fun ethos that dominates our lives. Tired of suffering from Sunday night letdown, she digs into the history, positive psychology, and cultural anthropology of the great missing weekend and how we can revive it. Onstad follows the trail of people, companies, and countries who are vigilantly protecting their time off for joy, adventure, and most important, purpose. Filled with personal and professional inspiration, The Weekend Effect is a thoughtful, well-researched argument to take back those precious 48 hours, and ultimately, to save ourselves.
