Summary

Based on the premise that leisure has become a threatened resource and that work pressure and the anxiety of always being in communication barely allow for the enjoyment of moments of rest, this book explores the value of free time. Neurologists and psychologists have proven the importance of moments of leisure, moments that not only promote regeneration and strengthen memory, but that are also essential for creativity and for finding personal equilibrium. Describing the causes of a general lack of time and presenting a whole gallery of leisurely characters, this fascinating read stresses the importance of leisure time for creative activity, while also offering alternatives and outlets to the logic of always-moreand always-faster.
