This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. What if the secret to a happy, purposeful life isn't about doing more, but about doing things differently? Sofia Rossi is an expert in the art of dolce far niente—the sweetness of doing nothing. Her life in Rome is a beautiful, sun-drenched chaos of half-finished paintings and postponed plans. But when a student exchange program drops her into the heart of hyper-efficient Tokyo, her lazy lifestyle becomes a cultural crisis. Along with her three equally unmotivated Italian friends, Sofia is lost. In Japan, her procrastination isn't a quirk; it's a problem that needs solving. Just as she's ready to surrender and book a flight home, her wise friend Yuka introduces her to a different Japan—a world of ancient philosophies that aren't about rigid discipline, but about finding joy and purpose in the everyday. Her hilarious and transformative year begins.
