In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays is a collection of essays by Bertrand Russell that argues for a radical reduction in the hours of labour, suggesting that modern technology makes it possible for everyone to have ample leisure time. Russell critiques the prevailing morality of slaves that promotes overwork and argues that increased leisure would lead to greater individual happiness, increased participation in the arts and sciences, and a more balanced society, challenging the deeply ingrained cultural belief that work is the ultimate virtue.
