Who says we need organization in our lives? Who says we should constantly strive to become healthier, leaner, more productive, and more optimistic? There's nothing more boring than a success story about living a well-dressed, even-toned, and radiant life through self-optimization. You know the kind of life-optimization strategies you often read about in magazines-your closet needs to be tidy, your life needs to be as orderly as clockwork, and even your love life needs to be fast, precise, and efficient. On the other hand, we also yearn for eccentric people, the ones who bury themselves in a pile of messy books, forget about organization guides, are completely unfamiliar with exercise, like to enjoy good food (but never perform intermittent fasting), indulge in naps, love to wander around (but never put a pedometer on them), party all night without guilt, and so on. This nearly obsolete creature, now called a "hedonist," must be saved from extinction. If you're tired of trying to do your best in this day and age, following a bunch of organization magic and fasting, then don't miss this book that will inspire you to live a hedonistic life.
