520    "Can working parents in America--or anywhere--ever find 
       true leisure time? According to the Leisure Studies 
       Department at the University 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 writer for The Washington Post, asks: Are our 
       brains, our partners, our culture, and our bosses making 
       it impossible for us to experience anything but 
       "contaminated time"? Schulte first asked this question in 
       a 2010 feature for The Washington Post Magazine: "How did 
       researchers compile this statistic that said we were 
       rolling in leisure--over four hours a day? Did any of us 
       feel that we actually had downtime? Was there anything 
       useful in their research--anything we could do?" 
       Overwhelmed is a map of the stresses that have ripped our 
       leisure to shreds, and a look at how to put the pieces 
       back together. Schulte speaks to neuroscientists, 
       sociologists, and hundreds of working parents to tease out
       the factors contributing to our collective sense of being 
       overwhelmed, seeking insights, answers, and inspiration. 
       She investigates progressive offices trying to invent a 
       new kind of workplace; she travels across Europe to get a 
       sense of how other countries accommodate working parents; 
       she finds younger couples who claim to have figured out an
       ideal division of chores, childcare, and meaningful paid 
       work. Overwhelmed is the story of what she found out"--

520    "This book asks whether working mothers in America -- or 
       anywhere -- can ever find true leisure time. Or are our 
       brains, our partners, our culture, our bosses, making it 
       impossible for us to experience anything but "contained 
       time," in which we are in frantic life management mode 
       until we are sound asleep?"--|cProvided by publisher.
