(More customer reviews)The Leisure Economy by Linda Nazareth is a well- researched, on-target account of the movement away from the "Time Crunch Economy" to the "Leisure Economy." As this respected economist points out, work/life balance is not just a fad created by young people to drive older professionals crazy. It's a sane response to a society which has made a virtue of work addiction and is re-calibrating itself to the mindset of "there's more to life than work."
Baby Boomers pondering retirement, Gen Xers with families and mortgages, and Gen Yers new to the workplace will discover valuable insights to guide their career-and-life choices. So will organizations struggling to attract and retain the best talent of every age. Ms. Nazareth offers examples of individuals who have re-invented their working lives and industries who offer employees opportunities to do the same as this movement gains momentum.
The Leisure Economy is a significant contribution to the literature of generational diversity and changing values in the workplace. And, equally important, it is creatively written and highly entertaining.
