Join authors Eve Rodsky, B. Hibbs and Yael Schonbrun as we explore how to break unhelpful habits and achieve more joy.

For over two decades, we've supported people to follow a “third path”—an integrated approach to work and life. In today's replay of our May event, Alex Pang discusses his book Shorter, which explores the ways that a four-day workweek can benefit individual employees and whole organizations. If you're interested in implementing a four-day workweek for yourself or for your whole organization, this is worth a watch! Make sure to pick up his book to read case studies about organizations that have four-day workweeks, too. Guests: Alex Pang, Ashley Forde, Ed Frauenheim

At the heart of promoting gender equity and family, well-being is supporting fathers to overcome the unique obstacles men face when redesign work.

Guests: Kelly Little, Julian Lute, Ed Frauenheim Host: Jessica DeGroot www.thirdpath.org
