About this listen
In our 24-7 global economy, rest feels like a luxury at best and a weakness at worst. We see work and rest as competitors - but what if they're actually partners in a productive, balanced life?
Blending rigorous scientific research with examples of writers, painters and thinkers - from Darwin to Stephen King - Silicon Valley futurist and business consultant Alex Soojung-Kim Pang exposes how we've underestimated the power of rest for our success. Though it's as natural as breathing, it's also a skill we can all learn to boost our creativity and productivity. Full of tips for upping our downtime, from sleep to hobbies to vacation, Rest is a new road map for finding renewed energy and inspiration - and getting more done.

Very thought provoking
A book which is very counter to what I learnt in business school.
Some really great and interesting examples of people who’ve actively integrated rest into their lives to great benefit.
Did find myself drifting a few times. I think this is because the reading is somewhat robotic.
Nevertheless, a book I’d recommend and I’m ordering a copy for a relative for Christmas.

Interesting
Interesting and thought provoking. Sometimes feels like the (many) examples he gives from historical people are either cherry picked or he makes too much of something. Still a worthwhile listen and has some useful insights.

Narrator is excellent
Great stories of accomplished people
A game changer for high achieving, ambitious people who tend to overwork.
