Overcoming Toxic Productivity (and the Virtue of Play)

Pull up a barstool with me and relax. I mean it! We need to relax. This week's episode of "Pints with Aquinas" is all about overwork, why technology makes us more stressed, and how to find true rest and leisure. We're going to look at a pretty hard-hitting argument from Aquinas for why we need to be joyful and get some pleasure in our lives. We'll also talk about: - What is true rest for the soul (the answer may surprise you) - The difference between true leisure and distraction - The sin of not playing (yes, this is for real) - Some practical tips for detaching yourself from technology Download my FREE ebook, "You Can Understand Aquinas," now!
