How to Be Idle

Tom Hodgkinson

3.76/5 (2295 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

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.
