Time for Life

Challenging common perceptions, this study reveals that Americans may have more leisure time now than three decades ago, averaging over an hour more daily compared to the 1960s. Authors John P. Robinson and Geoffrey Godbey, known for their provocative findings, present updated research that includes data from 1995 to 1997. The new chapter expands on their earlier work, providing insights into how leisure time is utilized and its implications on American life.
