Idler editor Tom Hodgkinson launches his new book An Idler’s Manual, which brings you 24 easy ways to do nothing. In this lively chat, Tom argues in favour of his idling philosophy as a riposte to the grind culture that is quite literally killing us.

Tom Hodgkinson is editor of the Idler and author of the best-selling manuals, How to be Idle and How to be Free. His other books include a  parenting guide, the Ukulele Handbook and a manual for creative entrepreneurs, Business for Bohemians.

An Idler’s Manual is available to buy here: https://www.idler.co.uk/article/an-idlers-manual/

This conversation was recorded as part of the Idler’s weekly online event, A Drink with the Idler. The full recording is available to magazine and Academy subscribers. Visit the website to join: https://www.idler.co.uk/
