About This Item
New York: Oxford University Press, 2005. Fine in fine dust jacket. The author pokes fun at the self-help industry with 114 pages of tongue-in-cheek guidance to find your perfect sloth. Examples, chosen absolutely at random: her "ten rules of sloth," "1. Do not clean up. . . . Putting something away creates double work, because you'll only need to take it out again next time you need it. The more accessible everything is, the easier your life will be." (50). The "Too Much Ten" of overachievers, beginning with William the Conqueror and ending with the author's mother who raised nine children by herself: "No one will ever be as great a mother as she, and in that way, she really let me down." (82) . 1st Edition. Hard Cover.
