  The definitive collection of thoughts, assaults, and hilarious observations from America’s premier business humorist and bestselling author of Throwing the Elephant and What Would Machiavelli Do? 
  The Big Bing will be a mandatory addition to the library of everyone who works for a living, or would like to. For nearly 20 years, Stanley Bing’s funny, wise, pleasantly mean-spirited, and at times even useful columns have delighted readers in the pages of Esquire, Fortune and a variety of other national publications. 
  Bing has lived the last two decades inside the belly of the corporate beast, clawing his way to the top of one of the great multinational companies in the cosmos. And he has seen it all: the high body count after many a gruesome deal, the machine that grinds up the bones of those who stood in its way, the birth and death of executive dinosaurs (and he’s had quite a few lunches with some of them, too). The result is storytelling at its best—sophisticated, amusing, and driven by the kind of insight that only a true insider can possess. 
  The Big Bing provides a mole’s-eye-view of the society in which we all live and work, creating one of the most entertaining, thought-provoking, and just plain funny bodies of work in contemporary letters.

  Humans may have reached a time in their history where the number of possibilities they have regarding the way they do things and solve problems exceed by far any hope they have ever had before: the human race can boast having travelled in outer space, exploring other planets, galaxies – just in case we fail with the “little” we have got. It has managed to find cures to many of the diseases which used to kill us by the millions. For the last century, humans have developed technologies and devices which help them move forward, farther and faster, in spite of the problems mother nature or natural evolution might have brought their ways. In fact, they have not only managed, they thrived. So much so that after War World II, in the USA for instance, there was an unprecedented economic and baby boom that gave hope and left the scars of the global deflagration far behind in the back of the people’s minds: the look was only forward. The world population has more than tripled compared to the 1950s. We are now more numerous than ever, so numerous that many are wondering where we could find the resources to feed such a large number and continue living and avoid conflict. As a result, we are busier than ever, not only to move to the next natural step in our evolution and progress, but also to find solutions to our newly-born, man-made issues humanity is now facing. Humans may have succeeded to exceed their limitations so far; however, not without paying a price: stress and anxiety, depression, sleep troubles. The fast pace of our modern living has, thus, not come without paying a toll. What to do? While we cannot do anything about the fact that we were born in this day and age or about the way in which society as a whole chooses to do things, there is something we can do about the way in which we relate to what is happening outside ourselves. Read this quick guide and you will find out how easy it can be to transgress your difficulties.

  You can't have a healthy economy with an unhealthy work force. Work Less proposes ways to reduce work hours and keep workers happier, healthier, and more productive. 
   
   
   
  Recent years have revealed just how stressed out many workers are. While the trend to longer hours has been developing for several decades, the trend's effects have been aggravated during the pandemic by the growing use of Zoom and other new technologies for meetings with clients, customers, and coworkers. 
   
   
   
  Exhausted and fed up, today's workers are starting to insist on shorter hours and greater flexibility as to where they do their work. There is growing consensus that the forty-hour week, the norm since the 1940s, has outlived its usefulness. And there is an urgent need for new work schedules that adequately reflect the far greater intensity of work today, as well as the greater family demands on a labor force made up of almost fifty percent women, who bear the brunt of domestic duties. 
   
   
   
  Work Less offers practical scheduling suggestions to employers and workers and numerous policy options for government policy-makers to improve working conditions.
