Cultural Biopsy: What Are The Drivers Of Busyness? | Season 2 Episode 6


Listen Later

In this week's episode, we take a deep dive into some of the cultural motivations and pressures of chronic busyness. We will take a look at several quotes and ideas (see references below) such as: “Americans work longer hours, have shorter vacations, get less in unemployment, disability, and retirement benefits, and retire later, than people in comparably rich societies.” - Jeff Bethke
