Making the Most of Leisure Time - William F Dankenbring - April 1973

William F Dankenbring

Never before have so many people in so many countries had so much leisure time to devote to pleasure, fun, and games. But it has not made most of them happier. Why? In this article we explain the vital missing element people overlook. The western world has entered a new age - the Age of Leisure. From the Aegean isles to the beaches of Sydney, Australia, resorts and pleasure spas are crowded with people who seek escape from humdrum routine. From the shimmering beaches of the Bahamas to Mexico's sun-drenched sands at Acapulco, thousands loll, sport, cavort, or just lie in the sun, sprawl on lounge chairs, or recline in the shade of tiki huts. From the gambling casinos of Paradise Island in the Bahamas to those of Monte Carlo or London or Las Vegas, Nevada, millions seek excitement, thrills, and sensual fulfillment. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
