This book made me mad and fired up in the best possible way. Some of this information was stuff I already knew here and there, but it was great to see it laid out all together. I didn't necessarily relate to the compulsion to overwork that the author and their interviewees experienced; I'm pretty adamant about leaving work at work. Still, I notice this around me, and I know it's because of larger structural issues that make people feel they have to behave this way. 

I definitely feel that the beginning of the book was stronger than the latter portions. I understood that the laziness lie applied to areas other than labor, but I think the author could have made those connections to other areas a little more clear. Still, I loved this, and it gave me a lot to think about.

This was a pretty quick introduction to what I know of Dr. Devon Price's work and to exhaustion, burnout, and the myth of laziness under neoliberal capitalism, but I want to recommend it to basically everyone I know!
