A burn-out work ethic has most of us in its thrall, and the idlers of this world have the odds stacked against them. But here, at last, is a book that can help. Hodgkinson presents us with a laid-back argument for a new contract between routine and chaos, an argument for experiencing life to the full and living in the moment. \nRanging across a host of issues that affect the modern idler:\n-Sleep\n-Work\n-Pleasure and hedonism \n-Relationships\n-Bohemian living\n-Revolution \nDrawing on the writings of such well-known apologists for idleness as Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson and Nietzsche, his message is clear: take control of your life and reclaim your right to be idle.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67720273232160,"sku":"9780141015064","price":10.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780141015064_86711.jpg?v=1791659712","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/how-to-be-idle-tom-hodgkinson-9780141015064","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
