The Noonday Demon
Sloth is "willful oblivion to goodness, human dignity and the preciousness of life…. Sloth involves ignoring what is good, true and beautiful. It includes apathy toward others – their dignity, their circumstances, and their feelings. And it includes joylessness, even in the face of extraordinary goodness and love." This fascinating study helps the reader identify and overcome sloth.
“In a crazy, hectic, driven, multi-tasking age, sloth is the most surprising of the seven deadly sins – and one of the most prevalent. John Blackwell’s thoughtful reflections are a superb place to begin to explore this lethal modern vice.”
