Just tell you know -- more workers are feeling stressed and out.

And -- feeling burned down 72% of the people surveyed recently saying they're under more duress at work and 42%.

Saying their jobs.

Are causing -- to lose sleep that's terrible.

Psychology expert Cooper Lawrence says for young folks that could be even worse her new book is called they yoga club -- -- would make that he could be worse for young people.

Letting -- well there's a new generation of kids eighteen to thirty vehicle -- emerging adults.

And it was its menu at that age and you would graduate college and he would go find a job signed house find a wife or husband you would live your life.

Not any -- these kids are moving back home where college is not a milestone is to -- the bump in the road.

Greg I got my degree five now I need a further degree because -- to find a job.

Where -- and eleven they all moved back home in their living with their parents so they're living hasn't -- technically but there are behaving like children because they don't.

Have they don't feel the hope that a generation before them felt about the work.

I'm gonna recycle it took -- like Wayne's world nation moving into the basically the golden girls -- -- Yeah.

I'm really interesting about this survey was that nearly nine out of that ten people who responded said that -- work actually intrudes on their lives nine out of ten.

That means blackberries -- o'clock right.

Oh absolutely yeah the what I do is mostly in research but I have a lot of friends who clinicians and they are finding.

That their finding people coming into them more and more who are saying.

Come on talk about my wife my relation just a really talk about work and so fast that it wept oh wait excuse me it's my Blackberry.

In little concession they can't even -- to sit and talk to that there is about there's stress they have to sit there and pick up their Blackberry in the midst of at all and they should get paid overtime.

I -- I'm.

Not of course not mean that that's the problem that that you get paid when you get paid and your salaries here but your job requirements start getting larger and larger and and you have this.

Underpinning of -- of a feeling that if you don't do all these things on this to do less you're not gonna -- -- -- -- You know it's interesting there's a lot of debate right now why the labor force right that people who can.

Gately where it should be able to work is at its lowest rate since 19791980.

We haven't seen the labour force so -- with lower than.

Before.

President Obama took office did not say the president the cause here is argument that you know baby boomers are retiring more more and more.

Just leaving the workforce is -- behind it you know the baby boomers -- like that.

You know that metaphor the pig in the python they really change American culture because it's such a huge cohort -- you seeing anything of like -- Absolutely and I think health concerns lot more to do it because we're learning more now we have a lot more knowledge -- lot more research.

So it's not just I work hard and that's the end of that I work -- that -- to stress this stress related disease.

I'm worried it's not -- -- in my fifties or sixties and I feel like -- in my thirties.

So you wanna retire and enjoy your life would do -- -- always winded do you wanna go away to big planet I had becoming -- reasons those did you think gonna -- is -- -- because you know that.

They're saying fifty -- the -- thirty will it really isn't a lot of ways because people don't feel like they're ready to retire.

But doing these high stress jobs that don't make them feel like they really enjoy their life Cooper what does this mean for the US economy.

I'm -- -- an asset because -- deal in.

Relationships in psychology.

You -- an economy -- sculpture but but ends in terms of culture I think what it means that the economy is that we have people that are really unhappy on a daily basis it's intuitive.

Because as an employer you're asking your employee to do more for you and then you're making them more miserable in doing that so you have a more miserable -- staff around you so it makes in but it's it feeds itself.

-- and that cheery note that at.

Which is why you read the yoga club right we'll be at the club is about people in Greenwich who you know -- -- the -- so that they can deal out.

Current well Cooper earlier that Libyan movie one day hopefully I'll probably watch and an HBO eccentric stress afternoon movie -- -- I expect Cooper thank you so much --
