Description

In Sleeping with Your Smartphone, Harvard Business School professor and ethnographer Leslie Perlow delves into the new connected world of work and challenges the notion that you must be constantly plugged in to be successful. Her work and research suggest this 24/7 mentality is actually counterproductive.

Based on her latest research, the author recommends a radical yet simple idea: take "disconnected" time off, and both individuals and team members will benefit.
