Can working parents in the us - or everywhere - ever before find true free time? According to the Leisure Studies Team at the University or college of Iowa, true leisure is "that place in which we realize our humanity". If that's true, argues Brigid Schulte, then we're doing dangerously little realizing of our humanity. In Overwhelmed, Schulte, a staff article writer for The Washington Post, asks: Are our brains, our partners, our culture, and our bosses rendering it impossible for all of us to experience not "polluted time"? Schulte first asked this question in a 2010 feature for The Washington Post Mag: "How performed researchers put together this statistic that said we were moving in leisure - over four time a day? Performed any of us feel that we actually acquired downtime? Was there anything useful in their research - anything we're able to do?" Overwhelmed is a map of the strains that contain ripped our leisure to shreds, and a look at how to place the pieces back again together. Schulte talks to neuroscientists, sociologists, and a huge selection of working parents to tease out the factors contributing to our collective sense to be confused, seeking insights, answers, and ideas. She investigates intensifying offices seeking to invent a fresh kind of office; she vacations across Europe to get a sense of how other countries hold working parents; she confirms younger lovers who assert to have determined an ideal section of tasks, childcare, and significant paid work. Overwhelmed is the storyline of what she found out.
