a-glo asked: You are my last hope. I'm looking for a book but can't remember what the title is. I think it was written in the 1950's. It was about never having a job or having to work. It was basically about following your dreams or creativity. It was written by a man. I'm pretty sure Neil Gaiman has mentioned this book somewhere and I think I may have see it on Brainpickings. I'm also pretty sure it's out of print. Do you know what I'm talking about??

The book is called How To Avoid Work by William J. Reilly (published in 1949 by Harper & Brothers). Sadly, the book is indeed out of print
