168 Hours
How can a finite 168-hour week hold satisfying work, family, health, relationships and leisure? Laura Vanderkam argues that a candid weekly time log and clearer priorities expose choices obscured by perceived time scarcity. The book offers ways to shape work, protect family and personal time, and trade household effort against money, while recognizing unequal constraints and the need for rest.
