Publisher's summary

Why are we so tired all the time? Why do our attempts to change habits and accomplish goals continuously fall apart? Why is everyone so anxious, stressed, and lonely? We normally don’t have any time, but when we finally do, we lack energy. On those rare occasions when we have energy outside of work, it is restless and difficult to harness towards meaningful goals. Starting from the realization that meaningful time is worthless without energy, the concept of “timenergy” points to something we all lack: large energy-infused blocks of repeatable time throughout the week. TIMENERGY: Why You Have No Time or Energy is a critique of our job-centric society and the schooling system that assumes we are nothing more than workers, professionals, or managers. This book challenges all political representatives, professors, and media figures to think deeper about the daily lives and needs of working people.

ABOUT AUTHOR: David McKerracher (M.A. in critical theory and B.A. in philosophy) is the sole founder and organizer of Theory Underground, an independent philosophy lecture course platform, publishing house, and social media APP. He is the author of Waypoint, and the co-editor of Underground Theory. Born in the city but raised on a homestead in the woods, McKerracher has always been an outsider looking in, trying to understand himself and the world. Loves cats, coffee, and timenergy!"

Nietzsche b**** slaps Bourdieu

I listened to this and thought I would hate it, because I hate listening to myself, but I was pleasantly surprised that the words themselves came through. This is one of my favorite books, for various reasons, but probably front and center I'd want to say it's because it's so accessible to the people in my life who matter most, the people who aren't obsessives like me and tend to believe that they are "too stupid" to read important books (they aren't, and this book gets into that!). I hope a whole bunch of people find this work and read it, or listen to it, or both, and they embark on their own journeys, or continue ones already started, into this whole examined life thing.
