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.

The information was delivered in an easy to read and accessible way. The anecdotes, which I usually find annoying, were genuinely interesting and added a lot to the authors message, and were sourced from a diverse group of people with a lot of different backgrounds and relationships to overwork.  It really made me rethink where my energy goes and what my values truly are, and gave easily appliable techniques to refocus that energy. I couldn't recommend this enough.

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.

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.
