When There Is Nothing to Do Do Nothing
Buch
There are pitfalls aplenty in this book. These dangers include your taking a literal interpretation of the title. Finally, you say, someone has given me permission to take the rest of my life off. You don?t need my permission to do this.How about living as a forest monk? There are many benefits: The tax breaks are fantastic, you pay no taxes; there are the sounds of silence; sometimes you go many weeks without anyone annoying you; and, most of the time you sit with your eyes closed, and no-one complains.The downsides include: Chores, but as these are light when you become venerable; you need to beg for food at the nearest town; only eating on…

There are pitfalls aplenty in this book. These dangers include your taking a literal interpretation of the title. Finally, you say, someone has given me permission to take the rest of my life off. You don?t need my permission to do this.How about living as a forest monk? There are many benefits: The tax breaks are fantastic, you pay no taxes; there are the sounds of silence; sometimes you go many weeks without anyone annoying you; and, most of the time you sit with your eyes closed, and no-one complains.The downsides include: Chores, but as these are light when you become venerable; you need to beg for food at the nearest town; only eating once a day; oh, I saved the best bit for last, no sex.I am not in a hurry to be a monk. Besides, it would be a blot on my resume. Not that, that is a concern since I retired. As my career did not set the world on fire, I took the easy way out and retired early. If you think that this option pandered to my lack of ambition, then you guessed right.

Über den Autor
In my younger days I worked as a farm laborer, house painter, janitor, and carpenter's helper. I fell in love with theater and worked for many years as an actor and director. That love competed with another: foreign languages and international travel. With many stops and starts I eventually completed my Ph.D. and became a college professor. Though teaching was my true calling, I also published scholarly books and essays, as well as literary translations. In my spare time I wrote short stories, some of which appear in Stories by Three Brothers. Now retired, I'm working on my first novel. I've been married for 30+ years and that union produced my pride and joy, a son, whose brilliance keeps the darkness at bay.
