Shorter

Work Better, Smarter, and Less—Here’s How
Book • 2020
In 'Shorter', Alex Soojung-Kim Pang explores the concept of reducing work hours without sacrificing productivity.

He presents case studies of companies that have successfully implemented shorter workweeks, such as four-day weeks or six-hour days, and provides a step-by-step guide using design thinking to help businesses adopt these models.

The book argues that shorter workweeks can improve work-life balance, boost recruitment and retention, and make companies more sustainable.
