It is about winning when you aren’t working, in a way that is not competitive, but still very rewarding. If you have a job, The Joy of Not Working is about how to thrive at work by being more leisurely. If you are unemployed, The Joy of Not Working will help you be happier than most people who have jobs, simply because happiness is a matter of choice, whether you have a job or not. If you are retired , The Joy of Not Working will help you find just as much purpose — even more — as you had in your career life.
