What reading level is Practical Ethics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Laziness is weakness, submission, defeat, slavery to feeling and circum- stance ; and these are the universal characteristics of vice.
THE VICE OF EXCESS.
The folly of overwork. — Work has for its end self-support. Work wisely directed makes leisure possible. Overwork is work for its own sake ; work for false and unreal ends ; work that exhausts the physical powers. Overwork makes a man a slave to his work, as laziness makes him a slave to his ease. The man who makes haste to be rich ; who work...s from morning until night "on the clean jump " ; who drives his business with the fierce determination to get ahead of his competi- tors at all hazards, misses the quiet joys of life to which the wealth he pursues in such hot haste is merely the means, breaks down in early or middle life, and destroys the physical basis on which both work and enjoyment depend. To undertake more than we can do without excessive wear and tear and without permanent injury to health and strength is wrong. Laziness is the more ig- noble vice ; but the folly of overwork is equally apparent, and its results are equally disastrous.
