Years ago, I fell in love with the bestselling "literary gem" (USA Today), How to Be Idle. I wish everyone would read this book (I'd force them if I could)!

In How to Be Idle, Tom Hodgkinson presents his learned yet whimsical argument for a new, universal standard of living: being happy doing nothing. He covers a whole spectrum of issues affecting the modern idler—sleep, work, pleasure, relationships—bemoaning the cultural skepticism of idleness while reflecting on the writing of such famous apologists for it as Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Johnson, and Nietzsche—all of whom have admitted to doing their very best work in bed.

Tom Hodgkinson is the editor and publisher of the Idler magazine and the author of several books, including How to be Idle and The Freedom Manifesto. He was educated at Westminster School and Jesus College, Cambridge. He founded the Idler in 1993. He last had a proper job in 1997.
