📘 1. Book I’m Currently Reading – Shorter by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang
My reading has gone WAY down this past month, as I’ve been focused on teaching Cohort I of 🏖️How To Work Less.
But now that things are winding down until Cohort II, I picked up another great book…
Shorter makes the case that less work is more productive.
It highlights the NUMEROUS cases of companies that were able to:
⏰ Shorten total working hours,

Definitely worth a read.
