Spike Gillespie on the Art of Doing Nothing

A lot of us are doing nothing these days. Spike Gillespie and co-author Steve Eckelman explain why that’s good in their new book: Sleeping Bees: Why Doing Nothing Matters.

Spike Gillespie made a spectacular appearance at NextTribe’s Austin Out Loud last year. She’s a writer with wit, depth, and amazing insight into the (female) human condition. And, it seems, amazing insight into the future. Her new book, Sleeping Bees: Why Doing Nothing Matters, nails the zeitgeist.

Even with a pandemic raging, many of us still feel guilty about watching our toenails grow. So it will be good to talk to Spike and Steve.

More good news: Spike and Steve are giving away free digital and audio versions of the book. Click here to get yours.

Here’s what Spike and Steve say about writing the book: “We began writing Sleeping Bees: Why Doing Nothing Matters in July 2019. We had no idea then that nine months later doing nothing would become such a big part of people’s lives all around the world.

Even though many of us often wistfully wish for more time to ourselves, the suddenness of this abundance has prompted bouts of boredom, frustration and restlessness.

We love doing nothing. If you’re struggling with not doing, we hope our story will help you love nothing, too.”
