Speeding Up or Slowing Down: Time - Famine
T0
Modern society, according to conventional wisdom, is being buffeted by an accelerating pace of Stress and a lack of available time are the endemic complaints of modern life, the mantra with which we bemoan our lack of control over our lives. At the same time, most of us have more leisure time than in any previous generation. Is our inability to manage stress and our time a neurosis, or is there a real basis for our apparent time-famine? Speakers: Julian Baggini, editor of The Philosophers Magazine; Jennie Bristow, Commissioning Editor, Spiked-online; David Wainwright, Senior Lecturer, Centre for Health Services Studies, University of Kent, and co-author of Work Stress: The Making of a Modern Epidemic; Simon Wessely, Professor of Psychological Medicine, King s College London.
