The time has come : why men must join the gender equality revolution / by Kaufman, Michael,1951-author.;
"From founding the White Ribbon Campaign, the largest organized effort in the world of men working to end violence against women, in the early 1990s to his appointment as the only male member of the G7 Gender Equality Advisory Council, Michael Kaufman has been a major figure in the fight for gender equality for decades. Now, in The Time Has Come, he issues a stirring call for men to get involved in the struggle for a more feminist culture. Expertly mixing his personal experiences, insights gleaned from his decades of work around the globe, and data on the state of our society, Kaufman explores topics ranging from domestic violence to parental leave. He also grapples with how toxic masculinity helps, and hurts, men, and how men can be better allies in this effort. Informative and provocative, The Time Has Come is an essential work towards building a better, more equal world."--

The Art of Danish Living How the World's Happiest People Find Joy at Work [electronic resource] : by Wiking, Meik.aut; cloudLibrary;
A beautiful, research-backed guide on how to work like the happiest people in the world from the CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen and bestselling author of the New York Times bestseller The Little Book of Hygge. It is well-known that the Danish have a fantastic balance of work and home life, that working late is discouraged, parental leave is split equally, and long relaxing summer holidays are the norm. They even have a word that means “happiness at work”—arbejdsglæde. All of this is true while the rest of the western world are struggling with a burn-out epidemic, so where are we going wrong? Based on a new study from The Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, which was conducted across thousands of workers and some of the biggest companies in the world, Meik's latest book reveals the main factors in our happiness at work in his most pertinant book yet. With chapters on Purpose, Trust, Relationships, Balance, Success, and much more, Meik suggests a more holistic approach to life and work that makes it possible for us all to reduce stress, increase productivity, and get more out of life.
