From a founder and editor of The Idler, a gentle guide to goofing off-and finding stolen moments of contentment amid the madness of the world.In this inspiring book, expert Idlers Tom Hodgkinson and Dan Kieran stand up for the simple pleasures in life . . . by lying down for a nap. With its tongue firmly in its cheek, The Book of Idle Pleasures renounces our world of ever-growing consumer overload in favor of the timelessly true adage that the best things in life really are free.In its reflections on 100 simple pastimes-among them slouching, skipping stones, staring out the window, doodling, looking at maps, learning the names of trees, and, natch, taking a nap-The Book of Idle Pleasures is a charming celebration of simple pleasures for the sake of pleasure itself, making it a soothing antidote for our nonstop culture and an ideal restorative against the costly confusion of our daily existence.Praise for Tom Hodgkinson’s How to Be Idle"A true literary gem . . . irresistible." -USA Today"A joyful tribute to how we could live . . . lovelyto be savored." -Providence Journal
