[Newsletter] The Tide Is Turning: From Tokyo to Tiny Towns

Hi everyone,

Modern work keeps stretching in two directions at once: toward more productivity and toward more humanity. From Japan’s four-day workweek experiment to the shifts remote work has brought to big cities, the conversation is moving from how much we work to how well we work.

Because maybe the future of work isn’t about doing more: it’s about doing it better, and living better while we do.
