In 'Rest', Alex Soojung-Kim Pang challenges the modern myth that equates relentless work with success. He compellingly argues that deliberate rest is not idleness but a crucial skill for peak performance and creativity. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and the habits of history's most prolific figures, Pang reveals how activities like napping and long walks can recharge our minds, spark breakthroughs, and ultimately enable us to achieve more by working less. This book is a practical guide to reclaiming your time and building a more sustainable and fulfilling life.
