"The key to winning lies in combining old ideas in new ways to solve creatively framed problems."

Stress comes to us all in tiny little assaults throughout the day — the problem is that most of us believe it has to be this way.

Sometimes managers fail to create speak-up cultures because their organizations put them in impossible positions.

It's official. On January 13th, 2026, I'll be a published author with Harvard Business Review. Couldn't be happier to share this milestone with my co-author and friend Jared Lindzon. Do More In Four makes the case for why now is the right time for a shorter workweek, and charts the path for how to make it happen. I’ve spent the past seven years studying the impacts of reduced work time to understand how to do it effectively, including the last five years working directly with hundreds of businesses around the world to help them successfully make the switch. In this time, I’ve learned a lot from these pioneering leaders and innovative organizations, and this book seeks to share their stories alongside my insights from this life-changing experience. It also features original interviews with titans of industry like Bill Gates, political leaders including Andrew Yang, and Nobel Prize Winning economist Sir Christopher Pissarides. As Jared and I have navigated the winding journey of first-time authorship, we’ve been fortunate to work with a premier agent/publisher team in Giles Anderson and Kevin Evers. A shorter workweek isn’t a silver bullet for everything ailing modern enterprises, societies and economies. But it is an effective tool for driving meaningful progress on the most pressing challenges of our generation. And in the age of AI, it’s not just possible — it’s pivotal. Do More In Four is both the definitive telling of the shorter workweek story so far, and a call to action for a future of better work and balanced lives that’s yet to be written. It’s now available for pre-order at major retailers (links in the comments), and we would really appreciate your support in signing up for a copy and/or spreading the word!

When people feel safe in meetings, they're more likely to be vulnerable and speak their minds.
