An impassioned—and data-driven—case for a four-day
workweek.
The five-day workweek is a pillar of modern life, but it
isn't backed by science, ancient wisdom, or divine decree. It's simply a relic
of the industrial age—and it's time for an upgrade. What if we could accomplish
more while working fewer days?
A shortened workweek once seemed like a radical idea. Today,
it's embraced by innovative business leaders, forward-thinking politicians, and
a new generation of workers demanding more meaningful work.
In Do More in Four, Joe O'Connor, a pioneer in
designing and leading four-day-workweek pilots around the globe, and journalist
Jared Lindzon, whose work has appeared in the New York Times, Fortune,
and TIME magazine, present a groundbreaking, data-driven exploration of
why a four-day workweek isn't merely possible—it's necessary in the age of
artificial intelligence.
O'Connor and Lindzon draw on extensive research, compelling
case studies, and personal interviews with experts—including a Nobel
Prize–winning economist and Bill Gates—to reveal how organizations are
reimagining work. From a consumer products giant in New Zealand to a global
nonprofit, a Canadian law firm, and a Midwestern architecture firm, they take
readers inside the companies transforming their work models to improve employee
outcomes while driving revenue growth.
Do More in Four offers a battle-tested blueprint for
a smarter, more humane approach to work.
