Jo Hooper spent her twenties trying hard to become successful at work. But before she was 31, she had two breakdowns connected to her job.
spend + time period + -ing= ある期間を〜することに費やすbefore + subject + past verb= 主語が〜した時点より前に
These experiences changed the way she thought about work. She is now on a mission to convince people to work less. Her story shows how chasing career success can have a serious effect on a person's health and wellbeing.
