Can working parents in Americaâor anywhereâever find true leisure time?According to the Leisure Studies Department at the University of Iowa, true leisure is âthat place in which we realize our humanity.â If thatâs true, argues Brigid Schulte, then we're doing dangerously little realizing of our humanity. In Overwhelmed, Schulte, a staff writer for The Washington Post, asks: Are our brains, our partners, our culture, and our bosses making it impossible for us to experience anything but âcontaminated timeâ?Schulte first asked this question in a 2010 feature for The Washington Post Magazine: âHow did researchers compile this statistic that said we were rolling in leisureâover four hours a day? Did any of us feel that we actually had downtime? Was there anything useful in their researchâanything we could do?âOverwhelmed is a map of the stresses that have ripped our leisure to shreds, and a look at how to put the pieces back together. Schulte speaks to neuroscientists, sociologists, and hundreds of working parents to tease out the factors contributing to our collective sense of being overwhelmed, seeking insights, answers, and inspiration. She investigates progressive offices trying to invent a new kind of workplace; she travels across Europe to get a sense of how other countries accommodate working parents; she finds younger couples who claim to have figured out an ideal division of chores, childcare, and meaningful paid work. Overwhelmed is the story of what she found out.
