Why is my MacBook Pro battery draining so fast?

I've been working on an 80,000 page book in MS Word and using a browser for research. I've been working during the day but the display isn't even on full and I'm getting less than 8 hours of battery life. Is something wrong?

I have a new MacBook Pro (purchased a month ago) and at the start it had incredible battery life. Now I’m getting around 2.5 hours per full charge. And I’m not running any design programs or watching video. The Activity Monitor shows nothing that’s hogging that much energy. It’s wild.
