Book #100 of my 2022 Reading Challenge was an eye-opening read in many ways. The author disarms a lot of our common conceptions about ourselves and about what we think is useful or valuable. The exhausting rat race of trying to be productive, successful, relevant, always busy, liked and followed on social media stems from a deeply rooted fear to be labeled as 'lazy'. 

This book successfully argues that life is about much more than productivity, and that what we call laziness is often a sign that we need time to process, to recharge and to rest. Ignoring those signs comes with a price. 

Now that so many people are suffering from burn-out or near-burn-out symptoms, we need to rediscover that life is about more than work, and that people are infinitely more valuable than what they produce.
