A social psychologist uncovers the psychological basis of the "laziness lie," which originated with the Puritans and has ultimately created blurred boundaries between work and life with modern technologies and offers advice for not succumbing to societal pressure to "do more."

Thoughtful read submitted by tcramer318 on June 10, 2022, 5:55pm I came to this book thinking it was some kind of anti-work screed. Instead, I found it to be a thoughtful book that focuses a lot on self-care and mental well-being. The author seems a lot more relatable than other self-help writers, and the tone is never condescending. This book has changed the way I think about how I spend my time outside of my working hours, and I would recommend it to anyone who feels like they're not enough for being exhausted or burnt out these days. I look forward to seeing more of Devon Price's work in the future.
