Review of 'How to Do Nothing' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This book was excellent! It's a 4.5 stars for me. I really enjoyed how Jenny touches complicated topics with great lightness. It's thought provoking and I will be thinking about the book for a good while. I also was super judgemental of bird watching in the past and I caught myself watching the birds in my backyard with a whole new light. So I think this book achieved the author's intent.

It's not a 5 stars because I think the book gets a little lost in itself at times but definitely recommend reading it.

PS: I rarely write reviews but this one deserves better ratings in my opinion. I think it's easy to read, covers great topics and I really enjoyed how Jenny weaves her experiences to highlight them. Read this with friends!
