Price examines the concept of laziness, examining the ways in which it has been used historically to justify slavery and the exploitation of workers, and the various ways it manifests today. They argue that what our culture perceives as laziness is false, that it is not a moral failing or unwillingness to do anything, and that no amount of working harder can overcome some of the obstacles we face. Rather, "laziness" is a sign to listen to, an indication that change or accommodation is needed. Price's critique of laziness as a concept and discussion of its pernicious effects blend well with their advice for unlearning the laziness lie, which goes beyond the bubble-baths-and-candles kind of self-care that often gets circulated. My one criticism is that while this book recognizes people who must work themselves to the point of exhaustion in order to simply survive, it does not always offer valuable advice to them (beyond unionizing their workplaces). But overall, this felt like a valuable read.
