Caught in the speed trap. Information age overload

Description

In today's high-speed, high-tech business world, more and more people are reaching their breaking points, falling ill and even dying. Filmed in the U.S., Japan, Canada, and France, this cautionary program takes an unflinching look at techno-stress and its expression as mood disorders, heart attacks, strokes, and brain hemorrhages. Powerful insights are provided by a diverse group including a psychiatrist, a time management consultant, an entrepreneur, and the parents of a young woman who worked herself to death. By contrast, SAS Institute is profiled as a positive example of a business that is as compassionate as it is profitable.
