"It's time to question everything we think we know about work, starting with how long we need to do it. Shorter makes a strong case for working less, showing us how any business can profit from giving their workers more free time. Pang provides a step-by-step guide for leaders who are ready to liberate their people from the tyranny of the 40-hour work week." (Carmen Medina, coauthor of Rebels at Work and former director of the CIA's Center for the Study of Intelligence)

"This is one of the most hopeful books I have read about the state of modern work. In Shorter, Alex Soojung-Kim Pang shares not only the stories of the creatives and visionaries around the world who are pushing back against always-on burnout culture, but he gives a practical, step-by-step guide for how they did it, why it matters - for all of us - and how others can follow their lead. A must-read for anyone who cares about the now or the future of work." (Brigid Schulte, award-winning journalist, author of the New York Times best-selling Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time, and director of The Better Life Lab at New America)

"Who said a full workweek has to be five days? What if less is actually more? In Shorter, Alex Soojung-Kim Pang inspires us with a powerful vision: A shorter, but more productive and enjoyable workweek. I hope this book sparks a revolution in how - and how much - we work!" (Valorie Burton, founder and CEO of the Coaching and Positive Psychology (CaPP) Institute and best-selling author of Successful Women Think Differently)
