DO NOTHING

Celeste Headlee

How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving

Celeste Headlee sees this cultish devotion to efficiency and productivity as a threat to what makes us uniquely human. The author looks at how we arrived here, exploring what underlies our overwork and overwhelm and our constant desire to improve. Her end game? Nothing short of freedom from this cultish behavior and mindset and a reclaiming of our fast eroding humanity. To become less machine-like and more human we need to get "lazy"...

Celeste Headlee is an internationally recognized journalist, speaker, and author. She's given three TED talks with a combined 16.5 million views and is one of their top 100 speakers. She recently returned to NPR and American Public Media as a regular guest host, and can be heard on shows like Weekend Edition, All Things Considered, 1A, and Marketplace, as well as on the BBC.
