Is it possible that Americans have more free time than they did 30 years ago? While few may believe it, research based on careful records of how Americans actually spend their time says that they have almost five hours more free time than in the 1960s. In this book, time-experts Robinson and Godbey explain this surprising trend and how it has come about.
Exploring the contrast between physical aging and youthful spirit, the narrative delves into the rediscovery of wonder and curiosity in later life. It challenges the simplistic views often held in youth and highlights the importance of understanding and valuing other animals, emphasizing that humanity is not the ultimate authority in nature. This reflection invites readers to embrace a more profound appreciation for life and its interconnectedness.
