GG reviewed How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell
Review of 'How to Do Nothing' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
This book was titled and marketed in a misleading way. It’s not an instructional guide to “how to do nothing” and resist our capitalist culture where every spare moment can be monetized, it’s more of a collection of wandering essays on the joy and necessity of doing nothing, mixed in with the author’s personal journey. In a way, the book itself proves its own point, but it wasn’t what I was looking for.
