Ernie Zelinski could change your view of the world forever.

 

He has already taught over 200,000 people what The Joy of Not Working  is all about: learning to live every part of your life — employment, unemployment, retirement, and leisure time alike — to the fullest. With this completely revised and expanded edition, you too can join the thousands of converts and learn to thrive at both work and at play.

 

Illustrated by eye-opening exercises, thought-provoking diagrams, and lively cartoons and quotations, The Joy of Not Working will guide you to:

• Be more productive at work by working less.
• Discover and pursue your life's passions.
• Gain the courage to leave your corporate job if it is draining life out of you.
• Pursue interesting leisure activities that make a difference in your physical,
mental, and spiritual well-being.
• Vanquish any guilt you may have about not working long and hard hours.
• Be financially independent with less money.

Plus, new to this edition are inspiring letters from readers detailing how the book helped them improve the variety, tone, and quality of their lives.

 

“Ernie Zelinski helps others find the time to live.”
Boston Herald

“Like The Bible, The Joy of Not Working tells you
everything you need to know to resolve your Life
crisis, but doesn’t exclude humor in its presentation.
— Helga Roberts writing on www.AuthorsDen.com

"A delightful indictment of workaholism and ways to counteract it.
The author views unemployment as a true test of who one really is."
 — U.S. Department of State Book Reviews
