The Psychology of Laziness

The book combines a cultural-historical, psychological, and empirical analysis of laziness in all significant life contexts of the individual. Laziness is presented in a meaningful context, in the context of activity, social rules of behavior, and personal self-regulation. In all cases, laziness manifests as a limitation of activity caused by the desire to do nothing. The author reveals different types of laziness, combining refusal to act, pleasure-seeking, and personal self-regulation: hedonistic, anhedonic, situational, personally regulated, hard-to-overcome, and overcome by entertainment.
The book may be useful for professional psychologists, educators, sociologists, and anyone interested in the problems of modern human psychology. The publication is recommended by the scientific committee in the field of psychological sciences.
