À propos de cet audio

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).

This book is brilliant. It has really helped me question my own relationship to laziness and thinking carefully about the ways I see my team as a formal leader at work. Determining how to change work culture to reflect these teachings is going to be an exciting venture. Thank you Dr Devon Price for your labour

Brilliant

Worth it. It is well narrated, insightful, well researched and relatable. Challenge the productivity narrative.

Well read

I listened to this book while working late (almost every night) building my business. It's a fascinating look at the lie that humans are inherently lazy and out bodies are not to be trusted.

10/10 will read again! (probably while working late haha!)

Fascinating!

Like another reviewer said. There's too much personal politics in this book. Referring to their activism far too much for a book that has very little to actually do with that. Also I stopped listening when the author used "Latinx". A pc term for Latino people, of whom most of don't even like that term and refuse to be referred by it. This is very telling of not only obsessed the author is with their personal politics, but I get the vibe that they're far too self important for their own good.

Great message, bad book

There were some interesting arguments but the book centers more on people who are overworked and not so much on those who underperform because of depression, lack of opportunities or lack of motivation. But what made it unbearable to me was the wokeness interspersed everywhere. Hopefully I can still return it. I couldn’t finish. My eyes hurt from rolling so much

Couldn’t stand the wokeness

First of all: too much text for a such simple idea- don’t be too hard on urself, don’t compare urself to others etc.
Second of all: author talks about politics and minorities too much. These are sensitive topics that u should not talk about in a book about psychology. Moreover, it’s funny how author talks about conservatives, transgender rights feminism as if it’s an objective truth, even though it’s their subjective opinion.
It is also funny how the author says it’s ok to not do something and it won’t make u “lazy”, though when they talk about a guy who would not take garbage out and his wife waited for 2,5 months that was patriarchal of him and he is bad.
Long story short, I think there are some good things u can learn from this book, but u might as well watch a YouTube video that’s 10 minutes to understand the same thing. Hours of talking about Twitter wars and how devastating it is… as well as a lesson that it’s okay to lie when u don’t wanna do something.

Too bias
