We strive for the absolute best in every aspect of our lives, ignoring what we do well naturally and reaching for a bar that keeps rising higher and higher. Why do we measure our time in terms of efficiency instead of meaning? Why can't we just take a break? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eDo Nothing, \u003c\/i\u003e award-winning journalist Celeste Headlee illuminates a new path ahead, seeking to institute a global shift in our thinking so we can stop sabotaging our well-being, put work aside, and start living instead of doing. As it turns out, we're searching for external solutions to an internal problem. We won't find what we're searching for in punishing diets, productivity apps, or the latest self-improvement schemes. Yet all is not lost--we just need to learn how to take time for ourselves, without agenda or profit, and redefine what is truly worthwhile. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Pulling together threads from history, neuroscience, social science, and even paleontology, Headlee examines long-held assumptions about time use, idleness, hard work, and even our ultimate goals. Her research reveals that the habits we cling to are doing us harm; they developed recently in human history, which means they are habits that can, and must, be broken. It's time to reverse the trend that's making us all sadder, sicker, and less productive, and return to a way of life that allows us to thrive.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCeleste Headlee \u003c\/b\u003eis an award-winning journalist and professional speaker, and is the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eWe Need to Talk: How to Have Conversations That Matter.\u003c\/i\u003e She is cohost of the new weekly series \u003ci\u003eRetro Report \u003c\/i\u003eon PBS and season three of the \u003ci\u003eScene on Radio\u003c\/i\u003e podcast--\u003ci\u003eMEN\u003c\/i\u003e.
