Resumen del Editor

From social psychologist Dr. Devon Price, a conversational, stirring call to “a better, more human way to live” (Cal Newport, New York Times best-selling author) that examines the “laziness lie” - which falsely tells us we are not working or learning hard enough.

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.

Filled with practical and accessible advice for overcoming society’s pressure to do more, and featuring interviews with researchers, consultants, and experiences from real people drowning in too much work, Laziness Does Not Exist “is the book we all need right now” (Caroline Dooner, author of The F*ck It Diet).

Probably needed to hear this years ago.

I've been pushing myself too hard for decades and have started to loath my job. I picked this up after hearing the author talk about this subject on The Mental Illness Happy Hour. Once I started, I couldn't help but cringe as it laid out what I've been doing to myself for too long. This gives insight, but will not solve your problems... Only you can do that.

The subject matter was quite interesting, but the delivery was a tad dry. Overall, I'd suggest this if you're starting to lose interest in things that once gave you pride and joy. That might just be the burnout from trying to live the laziness lie.

Thought-provoking and life-changing

This book reached me in so many ways. In some aspects, it met me where I am in life. In other ways, it motivated me to take another approach to exploring new perspectives. And at its deepest reach, it challenged some of my values and beliefs.

Great read!

I feel better about being lazy and I understand better the inner working of systemic issues that contribute to the overall problem

good book

gives a great overview about how society has attached Morales to productivity and how that has a negative impact on humanity as a whole.

Read. This. Book.

I believe everyone raised in a capitalist society, especially one like America with a Protestant upbringing could benefit radically from reading this book.

this is amazing

this book was really surprising. i expected it to go surfice level and explore only the pressure to not be lazy at work, but i was delighted to notice that the author decided to explore the capitalist and protestant roots of the concept of laziness and how it permeates into every single bit of our lives. a must read! specially if you are an overarching person who believes that exhaustion is virtue. great book!

I needed this book

Dr. Price helped me understand that all the negative feelings I have harbored from quitting my chosen career in early 2019 are and were valid. I am valid in embracing my “laziness”, yet the book helps me to pause and reflect on why am I feeling less-than or lazy. What a fantastic read! Well done, Dr.!

Perspective Changing

I will be listening to this book again and again. I was presently surprised by the historical connections between the laziness myth and slavery. This was a well researched and presented book, with ideas that have changed my perspective on things that I once took for granted.

unironically life-changing

This book has changed the way I judge myself and how I judge others. Reading this, I felt more contentment in my life than I have felt since I was a young child. The author makes a point to acknowledge the privilege she has that made it possible for her to make many of the changes she's made in her life. She also gives examples of things anyone can chance. Ex. we can change how we judge others.
