About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin

Forget the old concept of the 9-5. Companies around the world are redesigning the work week to increase efficiency, health and happiness in their workers.

A growing number of businesses are shortening their working week to address problems with low productivity, poor mental health and unequal working opportunities. Workers are still paid the same salary for a four-day week and the results are revolutionary.

In Shorter, best-selling author Alex Pang studies these trailblazing businesses where managers are reporting their teams to be:

  • More creative in their problem solving
  • Happier and with lower stress and anxiety and cases of burn out
  • More productive

Pang will reveal step by step, how they have gone about making these changes, the challenges and solutions and, most importantly, how you can do the same.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great

I really enjoyed Alex's other book 'Rest' and this one was equally inspiring. I have now made my business into a 4 day week after being inspired by this book and the research, and I am much happier and feel more inspired as a result.

Really powerful messaging and examples

not the kind of book you can read in one go but I enjoyed listening for 30-40 min periods on the bike. It comes across very repetitive, distinction between chapters is difficult but overall great examples and powerful message
