About this listen

This is the number one secret to living your best life, and it’s the easiest thing you’ll ever do....

Are you fighting for the "good life", trying to break free from the rat race and push yourself into something more? More relaxation, time on the beach, travel the world, and make more money?

You’re not alone. Actually, this is a life that nearly every single one of us is after, and yet in some ironic twist of fate, everybody has themselves convinced that to get there, you must work yourself to the bone.

Do you barely have time to eat, let alone sleep, and constantly feel rushed from one task to the next?

Creating specific and intentional time for relaxation in your life is hands down the healthiest thing you could do for yourself.

In The Art of Doing Nothing, you’ll discover:

  • How to get more done and be more efficient by literally doing nothing
  • The number one secret to effortless action passed down from an ancient Chinese scroll

  • How I turned an 80-hour workweek and $40k debt into having more time, productivity, and happiness
  • Why trying too hard is a fool’s game
  • How to free yourself from guilt around doing nothing
  • Groundbreaking insight into the science of play and why you need to take it seriously
  • How to simplify your life down to the essential using intentionalism
  • Expert-approved hacks to prevent burnout from ever coming back

I have always been easily distracted, I say that I'm "working" but I'm actually scrolling through my phone or doing other random stuff which makes me fall behind on my work. After listening to this book, I took the advice and applied it to my life, and guess what,... I no longer scroll through my phone while working and I get the drive to get my work done. This gives me much more free time every day and I get more done. I recommend this book to other people that find themselves behind their work as they're not productive.

I liked this book a lot. It makes you take a step back and survey the land for a moment. "Am I working too hard?"

Usually, we do fill our time with a bunch of nothing. Being busy is valued in our society more than working smart. This book highlights that and so many other useful tidbits that you might not consider if you're not told...

10/10 definitely recommend you read this book if you're looking for greater productivity.

With all that's going on in the world and challenges of daily life, this book gives some great advice and instructions on how to deal with the stress they cause. This stress impacts everyone. I would definitely give this book to everyone to remind them its ok to do nothing. I need that reminder myself some times. :o) Great job to the author for laying this recovery system out!

God knows I’m not lazy and used to work tirelessly for my goals but I would always find myself exhausted, burnt out with little progress and I never knew why! What would seriously frustrate me the most was my business partner (my husband) who has always taken his time, literally do less, and would somehow achieve 10x more than me. I would be like seriously??? I get up way earlier than him and am more productive than him, WHY?! But after listening to this audible book, the truth was revealed as to why. This book taught me another way of achieving my dreams and goals that actually feels so much better, much more effective and intentional with a presence which paradoxically helped me achieve more in a shorter time with little to no effort. After listening to this incredible book, I am now able to gain weight, my hair and skin are healthier, I’m happier, my relationships are better, my communication is more effective and I’m able to provide much more intentional value to others in the world. If you want to wake up and snap out of the struggle of hustle, listen to this book and I promise you you’ll be more effective and happier.

There is another way!!! A better way...

On listening to this audiobook I realised my attitude to work and life in general was all wrong. After years of working 70 to 80 hour weeks and never finding time to relax and enjoy my life I ended up exhausted, my blood pressure was through the roof. My doctor advised me to slow down or face serious health problems. I now work half the hours I used to, I feel relaxed and energised and I'm actually getting as much done. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone that maybe working too much and letting life pass them by.
