Professor Hochschild's audiobook is based on three years of research at a Fortune 500 company in which she interviewed various top executives, managers, secretaries, as well as factory hands. Despite the company's "family-friendly" policies, such as flextime and parental leaves, few of the company's people were taking advantage of the ability to spend more time with their families. The Time Bind explains this paradox and suggests a way out of it.
