‘The Art of Not Working Yourself to Death’

June 3, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

Jim Goad:

We are all social animals to some degree, but only the weakest among us are strictly social animals. It would be naïve to deny that one’s lot in life is often shaped by external influences beyond one’s control, just as it would be foolish to disregard the overwhelming influence of personal decisions and will power. If that sounds too Nietzschean, Hitlerian, or G. Gordon Liddyan for your liking, I still deem it better than being some bearded, over-medicated couch potato who knows far too much about Star Wars and jerking off.

I would rather work myself to death than slowly die while sitting on a couch chewing on day-old pizza and playing video games.
