We are delighted to welcome authors Joe O’Connor and Jared Lindzon to the RDS Members Club on Thursday, 19 February 2026 at 6.30pm to delivered an impassioned, data-driven case for a four-day working week, drawing on their new book Do More in Four: Why It’s Time for a Shorter Workweek which is published by Harvard Business Review.

The five-day workweek is a pillar of modern life, but it isn’t backed by science, ancient wisdom, or divine decree. It’s simply a relic of the industrial age—and it’s time for an upgrade. What if we could accomplish more while working fewer days? A shortened workweek once seemed like a radical idea. Today, it’s embraced by innovative business leaders, forward-thinking politicians, and a new generation of workers demanding more meaningful work.

In Do More in Four, Toronto-based Roscommon native Joe O’Connor, a pioneer in designing and leading four-day-workweek pilots around the globe, and journalist Jared Lindzon, whose work has appeared in the New York Times, Fortune, and TIME magazine, present a groundbreaking, data-driven exploration of why a four-day workweek isn’t merely possible—it’s necessary in the age of artificial intelligence.

O’Connor and Lindzon draw on extensive research, compelling case studies, and personal interviews with experts—including a Nobel Prize–winning economist and Bill Gates—to reveal how organizations are reimagining work. From a consumer products giant in New Zealand to a global nonprofit, a Canadian law firm, and a Midwestern architecture firm, they take readers inside the companies transforming their work models to improve employee outcomes while driving revenue growth.
