> Echoing Kierkegaard’s unforgettable admonition — “Of all ridiculous things the most ridiculous seems to me, to be busy,” the Danish philosopher wrote in contemplating our greatest source of unhappiness — Camus considers how the trance of productivity robs us of the very presence necessary for happiness:

'The amount of "hurriness" induced in the subject had a major effect on helping behavior, but the task variable did not...Overall 40% offered some help to the victim. In low hurry situations, 63% helped, medium hurry 45% and high hurry 10%...a person in a hurry is less likely to help people..thinking about norms does not imply that one will act on them...Or maybe .. cognition was narrowed by the hurriedness..
