Contents	Introduction: How I learned I wasn't lazy -- The laziness lie -- Rethinking laziness -- You deserve to work less -- Your achievements are not your worth -- You don't have to be an expert in everything -- Your relationships should not leave you exhausted -- Shrugging off society's "shoulds" -- Conclusion: Compassion kills the laziness lie.
Summary	Price believed that productivity was the best way to measure his self-worth-- until his health began to suffer. Here he explains that the "laziness lie" began with the Puritans, and has continued to proliferate as digital work tools have blurred the boundaries between work and life. We become caught in a constant cycle of achievement-hunting and burnout. Price encourages us to let go of guilt. By becoming attuned to our own limitations and needs we can begin to resist the pressure to meet outdated societal expectations--Adapted from jacket
