Description
Do Nothing: A New Path to Happiness and Fulfillment
Our relentless pursuit of productivity and efficiency has led to a culture of burnout and loneliness. Despite our efforts to optimize our bodies and minds, we're working more, living harder, and becoming increasingly anxious. In this thought-provoking book, Celeste Headlee challenges our assumptions about time use, idleness, and hard work, revealing that the habits we cling to are doing us harm.
Headlee's research draws on history, neuroscience, social science, and even paleontology to examine the habits that are holding us back. She argues that we need to redefine what is truly worthwhile and learn to take time for ourselves, without agenda or profit. By doing so, we can break free from the toxic hustle culture and start living instead of just existing.
