Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving by Celeste Headlee
5.0
Highly recommend this book for anyone who's feeling burntout and trapped with work but can't put their finger on why or a way to balance things. I've already sent a copy to a good friend.
It talks about the history of work as we currently know it, which really hasn't been that long, and the somewhat invisible (or at least, socially-accepted) forces that are controlling and undermining our lives. Also how important mindful leisure time is and not letting corporate values and goals determine how we spend our days. Some good actionable items at the end, although I feel that just the change in perspective and reprioritization was the biggest step.
