If you have found yourself subject to the woes of overcompetitive society, this is a book worth reading. Throughout most of the book, I found reassurance that I am not the only one that has escaped the life of excess. I, however, by mere circumstance and accident, have alone learned about many of the philosophies in this book a few years ago when I decided to give up on the perfectionistic ideal of Western societies obsession with work ethic. Yet, I do believe the mentioning of ‘God’ to be quite much and unnecessary, nor do I advocate an outright lazy attitude which is somewhat implied in this book. Nonetheless, I am on the same page with the idea of ‘sticking it to the man’ so to speak and it’s anti-work principles. Indeed, this was an good read.
