1 Interesting concept.
Americans are overworked compared to their European partners. They work for "addicted organizations" that push them to work harder, produce more, and take less vacation time. The end results are unsatisfying workplaces, boring and repetitive jobs, and bitter employees.

The author tells us to take our time and work in a leisurely fashion. This attitude refreshes our mind, uplifts our moral, and makes us a better worker. We also need to have a balanced life.

The problem is that it will be hard to convince many employers to allow their employees to work in a leisurely fashion. They would be fired for being slow and unproductive.

2 intelligent but fun read
I really enjoyed reading this book. It gave me perspective on how to enjoy my self more in relation to being a modern worker in the 21st century where leisure time is considered a weakness in character. Great book

Ninety percent of everything is crap.

		-- Theodore Sturgeon





	An architect's first work is apt to be spare and clean.  He knows

he doesn't know what he's doing, so he does it carefully and with great

restraint.

	As he designs the first work, frill after frill and embellishment

after embellishment occur to him.  These get stored away to be used "next

time." Sooner or later the first system is finished, and the architect,

with firm confidence and a demonstrated mastery of that class of systems,

is ready to build a second system.

	This second is the most dangerous system a man ever designs.

When he does his third and later ones, his prior experiences will

confirm each other as to the general characteristics of such systems,

and their differences will identify those parts of his experience that

are particular and not generalizable.

	The general tendency is to over-design the second system, using

all the ideas and frills that were cautiously sidetracked on the first

one.  The result, as Ovid says, is a "big pile."
