Work leisure and the environment :
Robinson, Tim
Work leisure and the environment : the vicious circle of overwork and over consumption / Tim Robinson - Cheltenham : Edward Elgar, 2006 - x, 124p, 22cm.
This significant new book explains how 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. The author focuses upon a fundamental flaw in contemporary market economies that causes individuals to unknowingly reduce their well-being by working and consuming excessively, while enjoying inadequate leisure time. It is argued that this inability to correctly assess the benefits derived from their work effort causes individuals to place unreasonable and unsustainable demands on the environment.
