Really disappointed with this one. You expect clear and useful tactics to tackle procrastination and it provides almost nothing except the same old things. Meanwhile it gives an interesting global perspective on procrastination as a whole (and made me understand I didn't have any procrastination problem, just my old attention disorder).

Une belle bouffée d'air frais dans cette défense de l'oisiveté, du calme, de la paresse réparatrice, de penser autrement qu'à travers le prisme du travail et de l'exploitation, de réapprendre à vivre pour la beauté de la vie elle même, pour nous.
Désormais, le travail ne nous définira plus. Hors de question ! Et à la demande banale: que faites-vous dans la vie? (sous-entendu quel est votre job ? histoire de vous situer infailliblement sur l'échelle sociale et de réagir en conséquence), nous répondrons joyeusement: mille choses dont certaines d'une inutilité totale! et aucune qui nous tient en laisse !
Désormais, nous ne regarderons plus le travail comme constituant le seul espace où se nouent les liens sociaux.
Désormais, le travail ne favorisera ni n'abaissera personne. Fini ! Fini ! Fini !

This book made its entry to my pantheon of favorite books. After years of hearing about it, I finally took some time to read it and I was absolutely taken by it. Sadie, Sam & Marx story was a beautiful tale from start to finish, this book made me smile, laugh and cry, my gosh it has been so many years a book didn't make me cry like this. It absolutely deserves all the praises and it's a absolute must read.
Why wouldn’t you tell someone you loved them? Once you loved someone, you repeated it until they were tired of hearing it. You said it until it ceased to have meaning. Why not? Of course, you goddamn did

An interesting encounter between Stoicism and modern work environment. Lots to unpack but it finally goes beyond the "just let things don't reach you" and feels for "human" than a lot of the advices based on the Stoics.
