Publisher's Summary

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.

An important read.

A very good book about rest and work being equally important. A smooth listen. Insightful and energizing. I loved this one.

Nice concept

Before hearing this audiobook, I thought that Rest is something that I don’t need or give much thought to but after hearing this audiobook I realised that Rest has a very important role to play in one’s life. I now understood what actually Rest means and what is its importance in one’s life and how to do it properly. This audiobook sure has provided sone great insights to consider upon.
