Contents:
Introduction: The most dangerous man on the plane -- 1. The world of work as it is today -- 2. The workers' response -- 3. The corporate response -- 4. The purpose of the four-day-week -- 5. The data -- 6. How it is done -- 7. The broader benefits -- 8. The importance of being flexible -- 9. The obstacles -- 10. Inside the business walls -- Conclusion: Cows need milking twice a day.
Summary: "In The 4 Day Week, entrepreneur and business innovator Andrew Barnes makes the case for the four-day week as the answer to many of the ills of the 21st-century global economy. Barnes conducted an experiment in his own business, the New Zealand trust company Perpetual Guardian, and asked his staff to design a four-day week that would permit them to meet their existing productivity requirements on the same salary but with a 20% cut in work hours. The outcomes of this trial, which no business leader had previously attempted on these terms, were stunning. People were happier and healthier, more engaged in their personal lives, and more focused and productive in the office."--Amazon.com
