Leisure theory
We feature here some excellent articles on leisure theory and practice. As you might imagine, we here at CLAWS happen to think this should be a much more widely studied topic!
You can, of course, also read our essay on the
CLAWS way of thinking about leisure. The Leisure Party web site,
although no longer current, is also worth a look. This site was
merged with the CLAWS material in 1999. You can access the old site
through the Internet Archive
site.

Thaddeus Golas' The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment is
also a must-read book.
"Work," referring to what workers do, should not be confused with exertion; play can be more strenuous than work. Work is compulsory production, something done for some other reason than the satisfaction of doing it."

was a time in our own past when the 'work ethic' would have been
incomprehensible..."
