This book really resonated with me and it reminded me of the time I spent with my girlfriend. As the book says, laziness is not necessarily a bad thing, it can also be a way to enjoy life. For example, on the weekends we lay on the sofa together, doing nothing but listening to music and enjoying each other's company. This lazy time makes me cherish every moment with her even more. Some of the descriptions in the book are also very delicate, allowing me to feel the author's love for life and unique insights into beauty. All in all, this is a very good book that allows people to find a moment of peace and beauty in their busy lives.
