"The Art of Being Lazy" by James Ferris is a guide to productive laziness, arguing that strategic inactivity and efficient methods can lead to greater success, well-being, and fulfilment. It challenges conventional notions of hard work, encouraging readers to embrace rest, simplify their lives, and focus on what truly matters. Ferris explores various techniques and philosophies from around the world, including the Japanese concepts of 'nagomi', 'Ma', and 'wabi-sabi' and the Greek idea of 'schole', demonstrating how embracing laziness can lead to a more balanced, intentional, and satisfying life.
