Shorter Workweeks: Psychological Well-Being

A shorter workweek can provide psychological benefits, reducing stress, fostering creativity, and enhancing overall well-being. Psychological studies suggest that the current emphasis on long work hours may not align with human nature, as demonstrated by the more leisurely lifestyle of hunter-gatherers and the negative impacts of the industrial revolution. Embracing a shift towards shorter work hours may not only improve individual mental health but also offer other health benefits and improve productivity.
