Well, we had so much to talk about this interview is in 2 parts! In this second part we talk about how to work less hours as an individual - so how can we get ourselves down to 4 - 5 hour working days (and still get more done), how to reclaim our evenings and weekends and the best things we can do to alleviate stress, overwhelm and overload. So so much of this is in our hands.
I love the way Alex talks about this - he has so much proof that this works - not just for individuals but also for organisations. He gives so many examples of organisations that have radically altered how they work by slimming down to 4-day weeks. They still pay employees exactly the same and the effect is the opposite of what you might think: increased productivity, increased mental health and wellbeing, better ideas, better work-life balance and performance.
If you missed part 1 catch up on your podcast player.
Alex was in London to promote his new book and it was an honour to interview him - and fab to be in Penguin Book’s dedicated podcast studio!. He is one of the recommended resources and references in several chapters in the book, especially critical thinking and empathy. He works with an amazing array of companies from Shakespeare’s globe to Googleplex, as well as governments and Fortune 500 companies.
Alex's book Shorter is out NOW and in all major bookstores.
