The Theory and Practice of Resistance to Work
Summary:

The book critically examines the role of work in contemporary society, questioning the centrality of employment to our lives and exploring alternative ways of living beyond the work ethic. It delves into the experiences of individuals who resist the work-centered culture and discusses the potential for a future where work is less dominant in our lives.

Key points:

1. Work Ethic Critique: Frayne questions the high value society places on work, suggesting it's a historical idea, not a natural tendency. He believes it leads to overwork and neglects other important life aspects like leisure and personal growth.
