I enjoyed this book. From the message to the authorial voice to the advice--I recommend this book to anyone who wants to reexamine their work-to-life ratio, how they use their spare time, or take a look at how our society has constructed (and thus, now sees) the expectations we hold about leisure time.

Not at all what I expected, it was more or of a history of how we became so focused on productivity and multi-tasking than about how to do nothing. I don’t know now that I have read it that it is self-help, I feel like it is more encouraging the reader to self-evaluate, to remember to breathe and take moments to enjoy the life they built. That it isn’t a competition of who is busiest, that family and work can and should be separate spheres.

More than half of this is research, which is great, but the “how-to” part was lacking a little. Still, teaches a lot.
