In modern culture, a stereotype has arisen that being busy is synonymous with success. We boast about our multitasking, without realizing that being busy is not a healthy state, but a problem. We deceive ourselves by doing a bunch of things at the same time and only create the appearance of being busy, leaving no time for the important things. The author of the book exposes the myth that busyness is a necessary condition for success and happiness, and tells how to overcome excessive busyness and free up time for truly important things. The recipes he proposes are based on the results of scientific research, real stories, as well as his personal experience as a psychologist and a fighter against his own employment. The book will be of interest to anyone who no longer wants to bury their head in their own affairs, spend half a day checking email, or sacrifice big projects for minor deadlines - in short, those who strive for a better and fuller life.
