Customer Reviews

Not working really sounds like a great joy
I love this book. You can pick it up and read any chapter and feel energised. I found it cathartic and uplifting and would recommend it to anyone whether about to retire, or merely wanting to step down the stress ladder and get life's priorities right.

There are many books about down-sizing ones life but this is well written, humourous, and great fun.

Amusing, wise, easy to dip into informative book.
For anyone driven to work hard due to overconditioning in the work ethic this book is a must. The Chapter "Life Of O'Rielly" emphasises the stresses of modern life and how, with a different atttitude these can be avoided. For those about to retire this book is a must, however it is a good read for anyone in work who wants to alter their lifestyle. Zalinsky writes infomatively on many subjects, from using one's brain creatively to avoiding negative people. This book does not advocate idleness instead it gives pointers to enjoying life. The author discovered the joy of not working when he lost his job. After a period of despondancy, he discovered that a more liesurly pace of life has much to offer and a lot of money is not always necessary.

Average at best
There are a lot of great books that deal with creativity. This is not one of them. Average, at best, it might fit the bill is someone was looking for a superfluous treatment of creativity.
