Cartea care-mi însoțește cafeaua de 2 zile deja. Îmi place faptul că în sfârșit pot să-i zic mamei că ceea ce-mi place mie cel mai mult să fac - adică să stau și să visez cu ochii deschiși - e o artă. Și n-o zic eu, ci o zice Olguța.
Trecând peste, îmi place cartea asta. E lejeră, treci rapid prin ea, prezintă informații utile și ne arată faptul că statul nu se asociază cu "degeaba", ci cu "creativitate" , "relaxare" și "productivitate crescută" .

Meh, I think the ideas in this book have been repeated in other self-help books in more interesting ways. I agree with the author’s central thesis but found the book too hodge podge for me.
As a Netherlands dweller I did enjoy the reflection on Dutch words such as gunnen. But I was sceptical about how the book celebrates the prevalence of Dutch part-time working. The balance falls very much on mothers working part-time likely due to societal pressures https://www.socialevraagstukken.nl/de-keuze-van-vrouwen-voor-deeltijd-is-minder-vrij-dan-we-denken/. In particular, I’ve noted in the Netherlands a much higher expectation of the involvement of parents (specifically mothers) in a child’s school. See for example luizenmoeders https://www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opinie/breng-gendergelijkheid-dichterbij-door-luizenmoeder-voor-werk-op-school-te-betalen~b95392df/. The author does not discuss these points considering part-time work as only positive. I therefore missed the nuance around this issue.

Not that intriguing really. It gets a little ridiculous in some spots like when mentioning climate-change eco-anxiety and that people who love winter can’t enjoy it because someone might be freezing in the cold somewhere. I’m glad I didn’t pay for this book.

This book reminded me of a research paper that a student is writing where they don't have anything more to say but keep trying to stretch it out page after page. The best part of the book was the references she made to other books that sound better than this one, that I added to my Goodreads list.

This book is fine, I can see that many would find value in it. I suppose it just wasn’t really a new idea for me and didn’t offer any additional insight and that’s okay.
