playing vs. praying: Devoting More Quality Time to Ourselves
Conventional wisdom says worship has been on the rise during this premillennial decade. A new study suggests, though, that self-worship has been the real growth category. Comparing how people spent their time in the period 1992-94 versus 1997-99, research by The NPD Group finds a 22 percent drop in average hours spent at religious services. Meanwhile, people spent 7 percent more time grooming themselves in the late ’90s than they did in the early ’90s.
