Professional workers in the United States put in some of the longest hours of any advanced economy. Advances in technology that we thought would free workers to work anywhere, anytime, have instead tied people to the office from everywhere, all the time.

Our always-on culture is even worse for low-wage workers—facing chaotic, unpredictable schedules and increasing uncertainty in their job futures. All of this over-exposure adds up to a high-stress, toxic work environment for all workers that makes us sicker than second-hand smoke and increases the chances of dying an early death by 20 percent. And to add insult to injury: it hasn’t even led to better work. So why are we killing ourselves? And more importantly, how do we stop?
