Lessons from "Leisure: The Basis of Culture" by Josef Pieper.

This book challenges our contemporary work-centric culture and the idea of “total work,” where the ethos of work and productivity dominates every aspect of life. Pieper argues that this shift has led to a loss of meaning and a neglect of the liberal arts, which traditionally have been a space for leisure and the cultivation of individual freedom.

Josef Pieper was a professor of philosophy at the University of Munster. He was schooled specifically in Greek philosophy and Thomas Aquinas, law and sociology.
