Download or read book Being Idle Is Being Rich written by Bats Kulak and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-16 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just how much money do we really need to live the lives of the rich? If being rich means not having to worry about money anymore and if it means living a life of idleness, then we might be surprised how little we need to live such a life. Ordinary people have found ways to live simple but rewarding lifestyles without having to earn fortunes to pay for it. These people of leisure have come to understand that being stress-free is the greatest of all luxuries and achieving this object is a lot easier than anyone has imagined. But such has been our conditioning that we have come to accept society's interpretation of what is acceptable and what is not, what is "cool" and what is not, and we have enslaved ourselves to this value system. But there is no reason to continue to labor under such delusions. We can break free of it all.

Download or read book No Idle Hands written by Anne L. MacDonald and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2010-11-17 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Fascinating . . . What is remarkable about this book is that a history of knitting can function so well as a survey of the changes in women’s rolse over time.”—The New York Times Book Review An historian and lifelong knitter, Anne Macdonald expertly guides readers on a revealing tour of the history of knitting in America. In No Idle Hands, Macdonald considers how the necessity—and the pleasure—of knitting has shaped women’s lives. Here is the Colonial woman for whom idleness was a sin, and her Victorian counterpart, who enjoyed the pleasure of knitting while visiting with friends; the war wife eager to provide her man with warmth and comfort, and the modern woman busy creating fashionable handknits for herself and her family. Macdonald examines each phase of American history and gives us a clear and compelling look at life, then and now. And through it all, we see how knitting has played an important part in the way society has viewed women—and how women have viewed themselves. Assembled from articles in magazines, knitting brochures, newspaper clippings and other primary sources, and featuring reproductions of advertisements, illustrations, and photographs from each period, No Idle Hands capture the texture of women’s domestic lives throughout history with great wit and insight. “Colorful and revealing . . . vivid . . . This book will intrigue needlewomen and students of domestic history alike.”—The Washington Post Book World
