We are too goal-oriented, too results-oriented, work too much and rest too little. But how can you lie on the stove when so much has not been done yet?! Not only is it possible, but it is also necessary. The author provides a solid scientific basis for what everyone secretly dreams of: he proves that working too hard is harmful, and being lazy is useful. Chronic busyness interferes with creativity, self-knowledge, emotional well-being, sociability, and is harmful to health. After reading this book, you will learn to find a balance between hard work and periods of rest: you will learn when to put your brain into autopilot mode, weakening the “manual control” of your life. Our autopilot knows where we really want to go and what to do. Give yourself a break and a chance to understand whether you are in the right direction.
