这重要的书解释了w work–life balance is being destroyed because individuals fail to link their work effort with its adverse environmental effects and the personal costs they impose.

‘. . . a wonderfully accessible and persuasive contribution to an increasingly urgent and broad literature focusing on overwork, consumerism, environmental disamenity and the work–life balance. . . an excellent scholarly piece of work, drawing on a wide range of literature, and written in a very engaging and inclusive style. It will appeal to – and deserves to be read by – as wide an audience as possible.’
– Richard J. White, Leisure Studies
