The book is divided into three parts with multiple chapters: The Ways of Leisure Exploring Our Environment Taking Stock of Ourselves From Introduction "Almost overnight a new idea has come to us. It is the recognition that we are to have more time to live our lives as we please. Hitherto, in a world of scarcity, we have had to give our hostages to toil. Now, in an age of plenty, we can look forward to an increasing amount of time that is our own. We have, to an extent, grown work-wise. In the future, we shall grow leisure-wise. While we shall doubtless learn to put more dignity into work and to make it a fulfillment rather than a depletion, nevertheless, in our leisure, we shall find the means for cultivating the interest, powers and delights that should be our human privilege. This book is a frontier adventure. It is a scouting out of the possibilities that lie dormant in the individual and social life of today. It is an examination of the many kinds of activities, pursuits, and associations that may be discovered and enjoyed in our liberated hours..." Quarter inch and half inch tear at bottom of title page. Tiny white spot on back and small area of shelf soil on bottom, several pages have very light production wrinkles.
