The Art of Manliness

CHAPTER

Do Nothing for Ten Minutes a Day

"I think we are tearing ourselves apart," says author Chris Anderson. "If everybody in the entire world did nothing for ten or fifteen minutes a day, this craziness that's going on would be decreased by an essential margin" If you have nothing to do next time, don't pull out your phone and just sit there quietly. Try it. I'm not asking you to go and take some crazy meditation class, or lift weights every morning for two hours... You'llt just do nothing. Emale don't do anything."
