Über dieses Hörbuch
From social psychologist Dr. Devon Price, a conversational, stirring call to “a better, more human way to live” (Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author) that examines the “laziness lie”—which falsely tells us we are not working or learning hard enough.
Extra-curricular activities. Honors classes. 60-hour work weeks. Side hustles.
Like many Americans, Dr. Devon Price believed that productivity was the best way to measure self-worth. Price was an overachiever from the start, graduating from both college and graduate school early, but that success came at a cost. After Price was diagnosed with a severe case of anemia and heart complications from overexertion, they were forced to examine the darker side of all this productivity.
Laziness Does Not Exist explores the psychological underpinnings of the “laziness lie,” including its origins from the Puritans and how it has continued to proliferate as digital work tools have blurred the boundaries between work and life. Using in-depth research, Price explains that people today do far more work than nearly any other humans in history yet most of us often still feel we are not doing enough.
Filled with practical and accessible advice for overcoming society’s pressure to do more, and featuring interviews with researchers, consultants, and experiences from real people drowning in too much work, Laziness Does Not Exist “is the book we all need right now” (Caroline Dooner, author of The F*ck It Diet).

- Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen5/5Thank you Dr. Devon Price for helping us outline our values. As a therapist and coach, I have been collaborating with my clients to reduce their guilt (shame) for being themselves, valuable folx who are being who they are, not for what they do or how much they can do in a day. This book validates that work. There is also an important element of engaing in empathetic communication and setting healthy boundaries while learning what you WANT to do with your life while also doing what you must do to survive. This is a review of the audio book which was well narrated and easy to listen to.
- Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen5/5A thoughtful, provoking and compassionate book to question our relationship to work, rest, achievement and capitalism.
- Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen3/5I think I've read enough to understand what the writer is saying. In the end, it challenges my usual way of thinking but it also confirms it. It left me somewhat jaded.
- Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen5/5A must listen! Good for everyone to hear. Strongly recomend
- Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen5/5What an amazing book. Everyone should read this and consider their relationship to “laziness” and productivity.
- Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen5/5This book is educational and compassionate. I've recommended it to friends in multiple fields who face burnout or are just generally super high achieving people who struggle at times. Like the author, I faced an illness that changed the pace of my life recently. It has been hard to adjust, but reading this was like hearing, "It's okay" from a really smart, cool friend. I will be buying this to highlight and keep on my bookshelf.
- Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen5/5This is an amazing book. Well worth listening (and probably re-listening) and reading. Makes you think about how you can challenge the social norms to live a healthier and more authentic life.
- Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen4/5This book focuses an why being lazy is Okay. It helps peace together all of the symptoms that you’re probably overworking yourself. The examples are definitely picked to highlight the authors main point, that it’s okay to be lazy if your work ethic is hurting you. “How is my work ethic hurting me?”, she uses stories from other peoples lives that high light her point. I would argue that the stories the author uses are from poorly disciplined humans that don’t understand the fundamental reasons as to why they life there lifestyle, and really it’s the intrinsic characteristics of person that make up why you work hard at anything. If there are things you need to work on yourself, this book makes it very clear that you need to set time aside from “work” and fix yourself, because you can’t run a marathon with a sprained ankle.
- Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen5/5An excellent examination of the Laziness Lie from so many perspectives. Devon Price does a fantastic job of communicated how the lie is the root for so many issues of our day and how it is a result of systems that run our country.
- Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen5/5Probably one of the most important books to come out in the last 20 years. A powerful manifesto and much-needed challenge to the cult of toxic productivity.
- Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen5/5This is the kind of life-changing books we all need to read, the sooner the better.
- Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen5/5Absolutely life changing. Would recommend to anyone searching for comfort in this punishing and demanding society.
- Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen4/5Interesting and stimulating to do less and enjoy more. Recommended!
- Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen4/5I don’t know what I was expecting when I picked it up, but I experienced a roller coaster of emotions while listening. There was everything from comfort to tears, while I listened trying to grapple with how overworking and laziness are framed in this book. I got a lot out of it and I think many other people can too.
