Most of us know that a growing number of interests compete for our attention these days. In a JumpTalk on Thursday, August 23, we’ll see just how bad it’s gotten. Prof. Chuck Darrah of San Jose State University’s Anthropology department chronicled the phenomenon in Busier Than Ever: Why American Families Can’t Slow Down, a study of 14 Bay Area families caught in the excesses of 21st Century Life. On the 23rd, Chuck will show us what these excesses mean for all of us — and what we need to do about them. We have limited space for outside guests, so please write Pete if you would like to participate.
