From social psychologist Dr. Devon Price, a fascinating and thorough examination of what they call the “laziness lie” - which falsely tells us we are not working or learning hard enough - filled with practical and accessible advice for overcoming society’s pressure to “do more”.
Extra-curricular activities. Honors classes. Sixty-hour work weeks. Side hustles.
Like many Americans, Dr. Devon Price believed that productivity was the best way to measure his 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.
Dr. Price offers science-based reassurances that productivity does not determine a person’s worth and suggests that the solution to problems of overwork and stress lie in resisting the pressure to do more and instead learn to embrace doing enough. Featuring interviews with researchers, consultants, and experiences from real people drowning in too much work, Laziness Does Not Exist encourages us to let go of guilt and become more attuned to our own limitations and needs and resist the pressure to meet outdated societal expectations.

I just got done with watching Mia Mulder’s “We are working too hard” youtube video so this sounds like it’ll make an excellent companion to read :)

Thanks. I’m looking forward to listening to this. As a writer and artist on top of a forty hour work week I know exactly the thought - I’m not doing enough!

Great! Just what we need today, more excuse pandering. You do need to lose weight, you’re just really brave. You can’t be expected to have the same results as men, your gender is keeping you down. You can’t be expected to figure out how to get ID, you’re black.

We literally have the laziest people in history, just 75 years ago the average person was doing 100x more than today’s Lazy Do-Nothings, both psychically and mentally.

Actually that’s false the average person’s productivity has skyrocketed in the last few decades (but not their wages!)

“We literally have the laziest people in history, just 75 years ago the average person was doing 100x more than today’s Lazy Do-Nothings, both psychically and mentally.”
What evidence do you have for this statement?
Because it sounds like you’re on far too many drugs.
