Brigid Schulte is a staff writer for The Washington Post and part of the newspaper's team that won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news journalism. 

In her newest book, Schulte offers a deeply reported and researched, honest and often hilarious journey into time pressure and modern life. How worrying about all there is to do and the pressure of feeling like we never have enough time to do it all, or do it well, is resculpting our brains and shaping our workplaces, our relationships and squeezing the space that the Greeks said was the point of living a Good Life: that elusive moment of peace called leisure. The book both outlines the structural and policy changes needed – already underway in small pockets – and mines the latest human performance and motivation science to show the way out of the overwhelm.
