This was okay - nothing revolutionary but also not a total waste of time. I do think a lot of what Price touches on here isn't new information, but I think a lot of the concepts and self-care tips were helpful reminders. The toxicity of constantly staying busy (or appearing to) to avoid being called lazy or being perceived as less than is a reality for many people, but I did think the mark was missed a few times with trying to connect the "laziness lie" to certain judgments/ actions that I personally think have other motivations besides fear of laziness. I zoned out quite a few times listening to this on audio, especially with the various example stories of Price's friends who fit the category he was describing at the time, but I think the overall message is easy to grasp and this book would be a great wake up call for workaholics or people who have issues setting boundaries.

Too much like burnout by Emilie Nagoski and her sister. I'm sure this is good but felt like it has a lot of the same message in it but Burnout was better.

certainly very validating
chapter 5 & 6 (about information overload & compulsive helping respectively) def resonated with me. i think if the title makes you hmmm it's for sure worth a read

I really enjoyed what this book is about, in opting for compassion towards self and others. Good work in unlearning capitalist ideas that have been drilled into us.

I think if you're reading a book called "Laziness Does Not Exist" you probably have a pretty good idea of what this book says. Some of the pop culture references were fun (Lesli Knope as a workaholic makes sense to me, not sure that was Dean Keaton from The Usual Suspect's biggest problem though). I'd suggest getting it from the library before buying.
