explores the revolutionary concept of strategic incompetence as a path to genuine freedom. This provocative guide challenges conventional productivity wisdom, revealing how our obsession with utility makes us vulnerable to exploitation. Through practical exercises, philosophical insights, and real-life stories, you'll discover how to identify when you're being valued only for what you produce, how to set boundaries without guilt, and how to reclaim your time and energy for what truly matters to you. Not a manifesto for laziness but rather a bold reimagining of worth beyond utility, this book offers a liberating framework for anyone tired of being treated as a resource rather than a human being.

Perfect for readers who feel constantly drained by others' demands, people-pleasers struggling to say no, professionals facing burnout, and anyone questioning their worth in a productivity-obsessed world. We all need the techniques in this book because modern society has conditioned us to equate our value with our usefulness, leaving us vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation. By mastering strategic uselessness, you'll protect your energy, reclaim your autonomy, and develop healthier relationships built on mutual respect rather than utility.
