Stressful leisure

The analysis that Jesse Ausubel and Arnulf Gruebler published in 1995 on Working Less and Living Longer: Long-Term Trends in Working Time and Time Budgets is cited in an article on Stressful Leisure in World Magazine, a Christian weekly.  We had read the January 2006 report by Mark Aguiar and Eric Hurst on Measuring Trends in Leisure: The Allocation of Time over Five Decades as well as its foil, A Century of Work and Leisure by Valerie Ramey and Neville Francis (June 2005) and recommend both. We continue to believe that changes in total life hours worked merits more attention.
