The Week contest: End game
Last week's question: New research has revealed that American men ages 21 to 30 worked 12 percent less hours in 2015 than they did in 2000, largely because they were spending more time playing video games. Please come up with the title of a self-help book for young men who want to put down the joypad and get back to work.
