Review of 'Sharing the Work, Sparing the Planet' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The author provides excellent coverage of the theoretical and practical issues in effecting work time reduction, working less than the typical 40-hour week. For decades much of the work we do has been an unsustainable drain on finite nonrenewable resources but it continues due to corporate inertia and lack of time people have to contemplate a better way.
