A collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The book primarily reflects on the value of idleness and leisure in contrast to the incessant demands of industrious life, encapsulating Stevenson's contemplative style that encourages readers to reconsider societal norms regarding work and productivity. In the titular essay, Stevenson presents a compelling case for the merits of idleness, suggesting that it fosters creative thinking, personal health, and genuine engagement with life. He argues that many great lessons and experiences come from moments of leisure rather than from strict adherence to conventional education and work routines. The book also includes other essays that explore themes of happiness, the nature of childhood, and the respect we owe to history and figures of our past. Through witty observations and personal anecdotes, Stevenson advocates for a balanced life where the appreciation of the world around us takes precedence over relentless toil, ultimately promoting a philosophy that values contentment and joy in existence.
