- Summary:
- Our impressions of leisure today often involve rest, relaxation, and freedom from work. These impressions are simply misguided. This book reveals the truth about leisure by repositioning it as a philosophy of communication that cultivates the mind/body. The transformative nature of leisure is illuminated and with that, one can experience a reawakening of the contemplative spirit in action.
