Unfortunately I think it depends on the definitions, I've never been very good with common sense.

I often do 'nothing' because it brings peace and happiness. Which asks the question of whether you include peace and happiness in 'pleasure'.

But I think for the majority who live the semi-automatic life ruled by thoughts and emotions then I think the statement is rather accurate.
