How to Be Idle: A Loafer's Manifesto by Tom Hodgkinson

5.0

This is a book that everyone should sit down and read. I don't agree with every idea presented here, but the overall theme of the book is a good life lesson. To me this book is about enjoying the good things in life and not to get bogged down by things that take those away. People get so obsessed with working and making money, which is very stressful and ends up killing you much faster in the end. The author labels these people as "botherers", and rightfully slow. He presents the notion that we should not feel ashamed for taking things easy and not being caught up in the money world. Enjoy life.
