The Four-Day Workweek: The Economic Case, the Pilot Data, and the Roadmap for Getting There - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What if the five-day week was never actually correct — just inherited?



The Four-Day Workweek makes the structural case for one of the most contested ideas in modern work: that a meaningful share of the standard week never converts into real output, and that organizations willing to find out where their own slack lives can reclaim a full day without losing a thing.



Drawing on the UK's landmark national trial, Iceland's multi-year public-sector program, and the pilots that didn't hold up to scrutiny, this book treats the four-day week as a claim worth testing — not a lifestyle trend to embrace on faith.



Inside, you'll find:

• The economic and psychological research behind why a standard week contains reclaimable slack


• An honest, sourced breakdown of every major pilot program — including where the headline statistics don't hold up


• A clear map of which industries the model fits today, and which need real structural adaptation first


• The strongest objections to the four-day week, taken seriously rather than dismissed


• Three practical playbooks: for the employee negotiating their own arrangement, the manager running a real pilot, and the company planning a full rollout

Honest where the evidence is thin. Confident where it isn't. This is the four-day week argued properly.
