On a day like today, how can one be expected to work? I ask you. The good news is that you could actually be suffering from neurasthenia, a disease invented in the late 1800s by George M. Beard, M.D. This disease is caused by overwork, the pace of modern life, its noisiness and information overload. The cure? According to other learned men of the time, it was rest. The overworked were instructed to spend weeks or even months doing absolutely nothing. So next time you feel like you're going to have a breakdown, simply tell your boss you are suffering from a bad case of neurasthenia and go to the park.
