From social psychologist Dr. Devon Price, a fascinating and thorough examination of what they call the laziness liewhich falsely tells us we are not working or learning hard enoughfilled with practical and accessible advice for overcoming societys pressure to do more. Extra-curricular activities. Honors classes. 60-hour work weeks. Side hustles. Like many Americans, Dr. Devon Price believed that productivity was the best way to measure self-worth. Price was an overachiever from the start, graduating from both college and graduate school early, but that success came at a cost. After Price was diagnosed with a severe case of anemia and heart complications from overexertion, they were forced to examine the darker side of all this productivity. Laziness Does Not Exist explores the psychological underpinnings of the laziness lie, including its origins from the Puritans and how it has continued to proliferate as digital work tools have blurred the boundaries between work and life. Using in-depth research, Price explains that people today do far more work than nearly any other humans in history yet most of us often still feel we are not doing enough. Dr. Price offers science-based reassurances that productivity does not determine a persons worth and suggests that the solution to problems of overwork and stress lie in resisting the pressure to do more and instead learn to embrace doing enough. Featuring interviews with researchers, consultants, and experiences from real people drowning in too much work, Laziness Does Not Exist encourages us to let go of guilt and become more attuned to our own limitations and needs and resist the pressure to meet outdated societal expectations.

Então, neste livro o autor defende que "preguiça não existe" e o que comumente chamamos de "preguiça" é na verdade uma resposta do nosso corpo ou cérebro para uma crise de burnout, ansiedade ou excesso de atividades. Ele discorre sobre como pré-julgamos as pessoas por não serem comprometidas quando elas trabalham só as horas regulares, em vez de ficar horas infinitas tentando resolver uma atividade ou se dedicando ao trabalho. O autor comenta como nossa carga de trabalho aumentou com... leia mais
