How to Be Idle Author: Tom Hodgkinson

ISBN: 9780060779696 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 286 Published: 24 April 2007 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 18.2 x 12.8 x 2.3 Description:

From the founding editor of "The Idler," the celebrated magazine about the freedom and fine art of doing nothing, comes not simply a book, but an antidote to our work-obsessed culture. In "How to Be Idle," Tom Hodgkinson presents his learned yet whimsical argument for a new universal standard of living: being happy doing nothing. He covers a whole spectrum of issues affecting the modern idler--sleep, work, pleasure, relationships--while reflecting on the writing of such famous apologists for it as Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Nietzsche--all of whom have admitted to doing their very best work in bed.
