Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

Feeling constantly rushed isn’t only your problem - it’s a social issue.

This book examines how societal norms, the disappearance of collective rhythms and constant connectivity create chronic time pressure. Combining international comparisons and sociological analyses, it explores how busyness affects physical and mental wellbeing, why mothers carry extra burdens and the challenges of remote work.

Whether you’re seeking insight into modern life, gendered labour or strategies for reclaiming calm, this book illuminates how society shapes the way we experience time.
