In this provocative collection, renowned thinker Bertrand Russell dismantles the dogma of overwork. Russell argues that a 4-hour workday would free humanity to cultivate our minds, connect with others, and chase the higher pleasures of life. From debunking "useless" knowledge to reimagining architecture for social good, Russell's essays boldly challenge the status quo and propose a radical vision of a more just, fulfilling world.
