About the book

Barbara Holland takes up arms against America's current ethic of industrious virtue. We work longer than we did twenty years ago and eat more vegetables, but why get rich and live forever if our lives are gray and arduous? Holland persuades us to notice and guard the small delights that cheer our day.

First sentence: OBVIOUSLY the best possible time to wake up is in the June of our tenth year, on the first day of summer vacation.
