Faul zu sein ist harte Arbeit

Martin Liebmann knows the different speeds of life. From the absolute deceleration of a baby break year to the 90-hour week as a full-time entrepreneur, he has been in numerous hammocks and hamster wheels. His experience: There is hardly any time left for leisure in our high-speed society; boredom has fallen into disrepute. It is difficult for us to endure empty spaces; those who do nothing are worth nothing. In his book, Martin Liebmann takes up the cudgels for laziness. He explains what pleasure it can be to do nothing and why we sometimes even have to do nothing in order to be productive. His book is a humorous invitation to pause and a philosophical guide to doing nothing, in which one can find oneself and perhaps also some happiness.
