Forget the old concept of the 9-5. In a changing world, companies around the globe are redesigning the working week to increase efficiency, health, productivity and happiness in their employees. Now you can do the same.

A growing number of businesses are shortening their working weeks to address problems with low productivity, poor mental health and unequal working opportunities. Workers are still paid the same salary for a four-day week and the results are revolutionary; so much so that a pilot scheme has recently launched in the UK, based on this model.

In Shorter, bestselling author of Rest Alex Pang studies these trailblazing businesses working fewer hours, where managers are reporting their teams to be:

- More creative in their problem solving
- Happier and with lower stress and anxiety and cases of burn out
- More productive

Pang will reveal step by step how they have gone about making these changes, the challenges and solutions and, most importantly, how you can do the same.

Alex Soojung-Kim Pang is a Silicon Valley-based consultant who has worked with hundreds of companies to implement 4-day weeks without cutting salaries, services or revenues. His book, Shorter: Designing the 4-Day Week summarizes his experience, and continues an exploration of the relationship between working time, rest, and creativity that began with his earlier books Rest and The Distraction Addiction. Alex received a Ph.D. in history and sociology of science from the University of Pennsylvania.
