Summary

303. Laziness Does Not Exist with Devon Price Why are we so scared of laziness? How have we been convinced to tie our worthiness to busy-ness and how do we STOP and create lives we are excited to live? Social psychologist and author, Devon Price, teaches us how we got bamboozled and sets us free from the Laziness Lie. Discover: -How to rest, reorient priorities, and say “No” to reclaim our time and energy and avoid burnout. -Glennon asks Devin her favorite question: “What the hell is gender?” -The importance of listening to dread and recognizing when something doesn’t feel right. -Why resenting others for not doing enough often indicates that you're doing too much.
