Summary

In this "engaging reminder of the simple pleasures of life that are slipping away as we move faster and work harder" ("Boston Globe"), Holland offers a remedy for the American pastime of working too much. Rebel! Don't just stop and smell the flowers, call in sick and lie down among them--preferably with a friend and a bottle of wine!
