What if laziness isn't failure - but freedom? In a world obsessed with "rise and grind," Slacker Manifesto takes a hammer to the cult of productivity. With sharp humor and unapologetic honesty, Justin Ian Smith lays out a philosophy that embraces rest, rejects burnout, and calls out the nonsense of hustle culture. From couch-ology to the neuroscience of slacking, this book blends satire, psychology, and philosophy into a declaration of independence for anyone who's ever been told they're not doing enough. With chapters like Work as a Construct, Rituals of the Slack, and The Slack Commandments, it's a guide to reclaiming your time, sanity, and life. Whether you're burned out, tuned out, or just tired of being told to "do more," this manifesto is your permission slip to live slower, laugh louder, and stop apologizing for taking a nap.
