More about the book
Exploring the paradox of leisure, Chris Rojek argues that what is often perceived as freedom and relaxation has transformed into a new form of labor. He challenges the traditional view of weekends and vacations as mere time off, revealing how leisure activities can impose pressures and expectations that blur the lines between work and rest. Through this thought-provoking analysis, Rojek invites readers to reconsider the true nature of leisure in contemporary society.
