  • Summary

  • These days it can feel like life is a never-ending to-do list, and it‚Äôs increasingly difficult to balance work and life. People everywhere are unhappy about their work-life balance, and we‚Äôre seeing growing numbers of people reporting burnout.

    Comedian and ex-lawyer Alice Fraser has experienced the costs of work-life imbalance first-hand, so she teams up with neuroscientist Ash Ranpura to look for solutions to the demands of modern life.

    They journey from the workplace, which is literally killing us, through to our smartphone, beds and even brains, to work out where we’re going wrong and find some science-based solutions.
