Loved this book! It was just the right combination (for me) of things I already knew said clearly and things that I needed to hear someone say. Gonna recommend this to several chronically burned out people in my life.

Devon is a welcoming writer and breaks down our conception of “laziness” concisely. I saw myself in this book and used it as an opportunity to work on my own biases and bad “productivity” habits.

It’s gonna take me a lot more work to put this book’s ideas into practice, but this was a good start: this book made me quit my job.

meganpbell's review against another edition

dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

A social psychologist examines the “laziness lie”—the dominant and damaging belief that being virtuous means working hard and being productive—from its puritanical roots to its impact on work, activism, and our personal lives and relationships today. This relied a little more on anecdotes and interviews than on hard studies and statistics than I would like, but I still think it’s groundbreaking, radical, inclusive and definitely worth the read.
