Vita Contemplativa: In Praise of Inactivity by Byung-Chul Han

3.0

This book didn't not have literature examples or analogies, but rather it is more philosophical. In essence, the messenge of the book is this:

"Inactivity constitutes the human (...) Life receives its radiance only from inactivity. If we lose the ability to be inactive, we begin to resemble machines."

Han examines religion, capitalism, influencer life, and social media to show us how we can avoid burnout and change our values for the better.
