Episode Summary: “People who overwork - more than 55 hours a week - which is most Americans, will die younger. Not that it's correlated with early death. It causes it. This is serious”. Celeste Headlee wants to start a revolution. In her new book Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving, she’s asking out loud the question we’ve likely all been wondering: Why are we so obsessed with productivity and efficiency? Even when it's making us miserable? Celeste is an award-winning author and broadcast journalist with NPR and PBS. She’s also a professional public speaker; her Ted Talk is one of the top ten most viewed talks with an impressive 30+ million views. In this episode, she analyzes our toxic relationships with work and what we can do about it. Celeste doesn’t mince words. With powerful research, and a tough love approach, this conversation is one of our favorites, and we’re confident it will be one of yours too.
