You work 40 hours a week. You’re exhausted. You barely save anything. And deep down, you know something’s off.
This book confirms it: the 40-hour workweek is a scam. It wasn’t designed for freedom, prosperity, or balance—it was designed to keep you obedient, distracted, and too tired to question the system.
From the sweatshops of the Industrial Revolution to today’s cubicle farms and gig economy apps, this book traces the roots of the modern workweek, and tears it apart with facts, stats, and a healthy dose of biting satire. You'll learn how productivity has skyrocketed while wages stagnate, why working less makes us healthier and more efficient, and how the fight for time freedom was crushed by corporate greed and political cowardice.
This isn’t just a rant. It’s a call to action. Using the democracy we still have, we can demand a better future, one where life isn’t just work, sleep, repeat.
If you’re tired of being tired, and pissed off enough to do something about it, this book is for you.
