In Work Backwards, Tim Duggan challenges conventional work‑life norms by urging readers to reverse their relationship with work. He argues that many are overworked, disengaged, and anxious about the future. Drawing on global case studies—from Helsinki to Sydney—and research on happiness and productivity, Duggan offers a three‑step framework: discover your meaning, define what’s enough, and use tools like remote, hybrid, flexible hours, career breaks, sabbath time, even AI, to rebalance life and work.
