Interesting but a little biased

3 stars

In Laziness Does Not Exist, Devon Price talks about "the laziness lie" and how it affects people, mainly (according to his examples) by making them overextend themselves by fear of being "lazy". It was an interesting and certainly useful perspective, and Price acknowledges multiple times that people who don't do as much shouldn't be labeled as "lazy" either, but I was a little frustrated that all the examples provided were overachievers or ex-overachievers. I don't regret reading it, but I'd like another perspective next.

Review of 'Laziness Does Not Exist' on 'Storygraph'

A great read. My only negative thought is that I want a whole book each on the segments covered here. Especially the first part as it relates to industry and labor, as the wide range of the book might be a turn off in recommending it in business circles (and I want every one who makes labor decisions to read this book!)
