But here's the twist: what if I told you that our overwork problem didn't start with our jam-packed calendars, our smartphones, or even the industrial revolution? It actually goes back thousands of years. And the surprising part? Our ancestors might hold the key to breaking free from the overwhelm and finding more time for what truly matters. I'm sitting down with Jenny Powers—a writer, scientist, and former athlete—who's here to connect the dots between ancient hunter-gatherer wisdom and our modern-day overwork epidemic. She'll share how we got here, why it's so hard to step off the hamster wheel, and—most importantly—how we can start reclaiming our time, energy, and joy. 🔗 Check out the Shownotes for Episode 260: annadkornick.com/260 🔗 Grab Jenny Powers's new book, On the Origin of Being: Understanding the Science of Evolution to Enhance Your Quality of Life
