Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving by Celeste Headlee

4.0

---

A nice companion to Jenny Odell’s similarly named book. This one focuses on the history behind labor, like how Americans arrived at a forty hour work week, the ethics of work (the church needs your money! So work= moral good), and how being so busy all the time became a status symbol. The last few chapters give tips on unhacking your work life.

It’s like Beyonce said, quit your job! Or at least don’t let it break your soul.
