## Description

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.
