Rest: why you get more done when you work less
General non-fiction
Human-narrated audio
Summary
For most of us, overwork is the new normal and rest is an afterthought. But dismissing rest stifles our ability to think creatively and truly recharge. In this book, Silicon Valley consultant Alex Pang argues that we can be more… successful in all areas of our lives by recognizing the importance of rest: working better does not mean working more, it means working less and resting better. Treating rest as a passive activity secondary to work undermines our chances for a rewarding and meaningful life. Whether by making space for daily naps, as Winston Churchill did during World War II; going on hours-long strolls like Charles Darwin; or spending a week alone in a cabin like Bill Gates, pursuing what Pang calls "deliberate rest" is the true key to fulfillment and creative success. 2016.
