Can you believe that roughly 60% of high-earning individuals work 50 hours/week, and 35% of them work 60-hour workweeks! Looks like some American workers are saying “so long” to the traditional nine-to-five workday.

She’ll tell you how workers can healthfully balance their professional and personal lives in a culture of Blackberries and e-mails. If you think you or someone you love may be working to the point of obsession, take a look at www.workaholics-anonymous.org for support and helpful resources.
