This book was somewhat disappointing. I hoped to learn more about doing nothing, like getting a graduate degree in the subject. I have a real interest in doing nothing, as I moved into my new house almost two years ago and I still haven't finished unpacking. Probably because too much of my time is spent doing nothing while meandering through my wooded acreage. The one part I did enjoy was about watching sunsets. The book told me to imagine the world turning over and away from the sun. So the next time I watch a sunset I'm going to hold on to something to prevent myself from falling off.

However, I know just the person to give this to. She has way too many things on her daily schedule.
