He discusses how these uses differ among demographic groups and studies the effects of economic incentives such as income and wage rates. He examines how time zones affect our spending of time and demonstrates how the stress people feel about time is affected by their economic circumstances.
He also considers how changes in economic policy can lead people to alter their activities in order to generate a less stressful life in which time is balanced more evenly over their lives.
