Do you go to a health center, urgent care, a clinic, or even the emergency room at the hospital? Depending on the symptoms and the time of day, where to go can be confusing. Professor Keith Kocher sheds some light on this topic. Overwhelmed: When No One Has Time (1:00:44) Brigid Schulte is the author of the New York Times bestselling book on time pressure, Overwhelmed: Work, Love & Play when No One has the Time, which named one of the notable books of the year by the Washington Post and NPR. She has spoken all over the world about the causes and consequences of our unsustainable, always-on culture, and how to make time for “The Good Life.” According to the Leisure Studies Department at the University of Iowa, true leisure is "that place in which we realize our humanity."
