Here is a rollicking parody of the self-help genre, one that
skewers the couch-bound, apathetic mentality so pervasive in
America today.
With tongue in cheek, Sloth guides readers step-by-step toward a
life of noncommittal inertia. "You have the right to be lazy,"
writes Wasserstein. "You can choose not to respond. You can choose
not to move." Readers will find out the importance of
Lethargiosis--the process of eliminating energy and drive, the
vital first step in becoming a sloth. To help you attain the
perfect state of indolent bliss, the book offers a wealth of
self-help aids. Readers will find the sloth songbook, sloth
breakfast bars (packed with sugar, additives, and a delicious touch
of Ambien), sloth documentaries (such as the author's 12-hour epic
on Thomas Aquinas), and the sloth network, channel 823, programming
guaranteed not to stimulate or challenge in any way. ("It may be
difficult to distinguish between this and other channels, but only
on channel 823 can you watch me sleeping.") Readers will also learn
the top ten lies about Sloth, the ten commandments of Sloth, the
SLOTH mantra, even the "too-much ten"--over-achievers such as Marie
Curie, Shakespeare, and William the Conqueror. You will discover
how to become a sloth in your diet, exercise, work, and even
love-life (true love leads to passion, she warns, and passion is
the biggest enemy of sloth).
Wendy Wasserstein is one of America's great comic writers--one who
always has a serious point to her humor. Here, as she pokes fun at
the self-help industry, she also satirizes the legion of Americans
who are cultural and political sloths.
