On being a Slacker

So, I first heard about this book, "How to be Idle" on NPR over Memorial Day weekend. Essentially the book is social commentary on our current state of "work". The book also discusses the benefits of being a slacker and rails against the "workaholic" ethos. I need to get this book. Here's the article I just read about it

An ethos I could live with

Ah, if I could only convince myself of this. I always feel about three steps behind on most aspects of my life. And yet, what do I cut out? The perpetual answer seems to be to do it all just a little bit better or faster somehow.

Maybe I need to read me some Russell.
