I was expecting Thoreau. Hodkinson is not Thoreau. Thoreau preferred the simple life and if the simple life called for work, then so be it. Hodkinson wants us to be idle and if that means stretching the truth to stay on unemployment insurance a little longer…
Hodgkinson raises a good point though. We needlessly keep our selves busy, for no reason other than that's what's expected of us. Hodgkinson encourages us to let go of the rate race by any means necessary.
Maybe we can be happy by doing less. But we can also be happy by pursuing our opportunities, to push our limits and to find enrichment and engagement.
