Synopses & Reviews
Workaholics have it all wrong. The key to changing our lives isn't in doing something about it, but in doing nothing about it. Fortunately, Karen Salmansohn is here to set us all straight in a book that's as revolutionary as it is amusing.
How to Change Your Entire Life by Doing Absolutely Nothing explains the principle of doing nothing in a mindful way. For instance, we can do nothing while drinking coffee (stop your mind from a-roaming to negative thoughts and redirect it back to your coffee's aroma) or do nothing when we should be doing our laundry (try concentrating on the clean smell of the clothes). Such exercises, when practiced sincerely and regularly, will allow us to experience a surge of energy, power, clarity, and speed. The result of all these exercises is the most coveted goal of all: wait loss! Wait loss in getting the career we want, wait loss in getting the love we want, wait loss in getting whatever the heck we darn well please! Like a funnier version of The Art of Doing Nothing, this do-nothing book stands Zen on its ear. Sometimes the shortest distance between two points can be traveled without any effort whatsoever.
