Jul 29, 2021

What if laziness doesn't exist? What if it is just a social construct, that is getting in the way of us all living our best lives?

In this episode, we welcome Devon Price, the author of the books Laziness Does Not Exist (with Simon & Schuster) and the forthcoming Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity (with Penguin Random House, out next year).

They are a social psychologist and clinical assistant professor at Loyola University Chicago. Devon's work has appeared on CNBC, Huffpo, the Financial Times, Lithub, Jacobin Magazine, and on NPR. They write regularly at devonprice.medium.com.

In this episode we discuss:

  • where the concept of laziness first originated and why it persists
  • how your productivity is not your worth
  • how to live a lazy and more fulfilling life
