I found this book in the last day of August 2023, Berlin; Saint George's English Bookstore. They had a good selection of books, and I was immediately taken by both the title and subtitle (ended up bringing something else, but read it on the e-reader). Resisting the attention economy? Yes, please.

It was a big part of my readings for the travel between Slovenia and Portugal; I must have finished it sometime in Bari (the trip was very non-linear), as Bari is definitely not in the shortest path between). It is a highly quotable book, interweaving classic and contemporary thoughts and musings on work, productivity, purpose, capitalism, ecology, this and many others that somehow make up part of my core concerns. And yet, a light read!

I am still in process of archiving the quotes from the book.

quoting both R. L. Stevenson and Seneca in the opening chapters of the book
a motivation for the writing of How To Do Nothing
a possible definition for doing nothing
some intentions for the book and an inquiry into the meaning of return to land
de Chirico quote on the possibility of a society without unproductive occupations
following de Chirico's quote, further discussion on the purpose of the book
