A certain kind of busyness is crucial to life, allowing us to
earn a living, create art, and achieve success. But too often it
consumes us and we become crazy busy, nonstop busy, and we expend
extraneous effort that gets us nowhere. Marc Lesser’s new book
shows us the benefits of doing less in a world that has
increasingly embraced more – more desire, more activity, more
things, more exhaustion. Less is about stopping, about the
possibility of finding composure in the midst of activity. The
ideas and practices that Lesser outlines offer a radical yet simple
approach to transforming a lifestyle based on endless to-do lists
into a more meaningful approach that is truly more productive in
every sense. –This text refers to an alternate Paperback
