The early bird may get the worm, but late sleepers live longer. Sound too good to be true? Not according to The Joy of Laziness.
Every day we are bombarded with countless demands on our energy — hurry, frustration, sleep deprivation, poor nutrition, work stress and so on. To feel good we engage in intensive fitness programs, competitive sports and radical diets. These "high energy use" activities actually take a toll on our health, accelerating the aging process, making us more susceptible to illness and shortening our lives.
But there is a solution. And it is ... laziness!
The authors — both former (and reformed) champion athletes -- explain why
* too much exercise can make you sick
* being relaxed and even-tempered makes you smarter
* fasting delays the aging process and lengthens your life
* sun and heat are the fountains of youth
* "doing nothing" actually does a whole lot of good
Based on scientific research called Metabolic Theory, The Joy of Laziness reveals why the speed at which we live affects our energy and longevity. The authors include quizzes to help evaluate stress levels, life energy and physical well-being. They also share advice on how we could all get a little more relaxation, protect ourselves from "energy thieves" and rediscover the health — and joy — of laziness.
This book could be revolutionary for everyone who wants to stay healthy, be happy and live longer.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Drawing on both scientific and anecdotal sources, the authors of The Joy of Laziness argue that the much-admired Type A lifestyle of intense exercise, frantic activity, and overwork is detrimental to health and long life. Every human being has a limited amount of life energy, they say, and the speed with which it is consumed determines the lifespan. Citing the scientifically recognized Metabolic Theory, the book explains how being "lazy" -- being calm, eating temperately, reducing or avoiding sports, exercising moderately, and limiting ambition -- can boost the immune system and increase longevity. Included are energy-saving suggestions about eating, working, and exercising; quizzes to determine stress level, life energy, and physical well-being; and valuable tips, charts, and advice on this controversial idea.
