À propos de cet audio

Sit back and relax and learn about why overworking and under resting can be harmful to yourself and your career.
"Rest is such a valuable book. If work is our national religion, Pang is the philosopher reintegrating our bifurcated selves."
---Arianna Huffington, New York Times Book Review
Overwork is the new normal. Rest is something to do when the important things are done-but they are never done. Looking at different forms of rest, from sleep to vacation, Silicon Valley futurist and business consultant Alex Soojung-Kim Pang dispels the myth that the harder we work the better the outcome. He combines rigorous scientific research with a rich array of examples of writers, painters, and thinkers---from Darwin to Stephen King---to challenge our tendency to see work and relaxation as antithetical. "Deliberate rest," as Pang calls it, is the true key to productivity, and will give us more energy, sharper ideas, and a better life. Rest offers a roadmap to rediscovering the importance of rest in our lives, and a convincing argument that we need to relax more if we actually want to get more done.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"I recommend Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less, by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang...The title says it all-if you're prone to burnout or still believe that overwork actually works, this book will set you straight."—Arianna Huffington in an interview with Lifehacker.com
"[Pang] writes with an admirable focus on balance, on pleasure as well as success; in the end, it's difficult to argue with his conclusions."—Kate Tuttle, Boston Globe
"Consider this a much-needed guide for the overworked: a credible, factual case for chilling out and getting rest, by a well-known Silicon Valley consultant."
VanityFair.com
"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."—BizTimes
"Blending scientific research with examples of writers, painters and thinkers, from Darwin to Stephen King, the author exposes how we have underestimated the power of rest for our success."
Daily Examiner (Australia)
"Finally, a full-throated, exhaustively researched argument for why we should all work less and rest more-not just because we'll feel better (no small thing) but because we'll actually be more creative and productive as a result."—Mason Currey, author of Daily Rituals: How Artists Work
"Alex Pang wants us to treat work and rest as equals. In his fascinating, well-researched and highly readable new book Rest, he makes an excellent case for the critical importance of rest in our lives, drawing from the rest habits of some of our most famous scientists, writers and creatives from history, from neuroscience research as well as examples from some of the most productive people working today. You will consider how and why you rest in a completely new light after reading this book."—Wendy Suzuki, Ph.D. professor of neural science and psychology at New York University and author of Healthy Brain Happy Life
"Finally, indisputable proof that to raise happy, healthy, and productive adults, parents and educators must teach the next generation how to practice intentional rest...how to partner work with play, exercise, and sleep."—Nanci Kauffman, head of Castilleja School
"I love this book. Rest weaves fascinating research and captivating stories into a wise prescription for a healthier, more creative, and more fulfilling life in a technology saturated world. At heart, it is rest, in the many ways Pang describes, that contributes to our ability to be the best of what we can be."—Linda Stone, former executive, Apple and Microsoft

This is one of the best book I’ve listened to so far on Audible! Teached me so much about the value & importance of rest. The author did a great job also digging into history, to give us great examples of how rest can help leaders and intellectuals of this world continue their stressful job.

Amazing book!

In a world where rushing and multi tasking are seen as badges of honour and as indicators of high performance, it is a great reminder that deep work and extraordinary work require rest, time and space.

Highly recommend

This book found me exactly when needed it. As a middle-aged woman trying to overcome workaholism, this was the kick in the pants I needed to point me towards practices that will not only help me succeed, but ensure I am able to continue to do and enjoy my work for many years to come... and enjoy my life at the same time. I'm sure I'll listen again to gain further insight as I put these ideas into practice.

Lots of food for thought

If you’re too busy to prioritize this audiobook then you’ll likely stay too busy to realize the gold in taking strategic breaks across key staples few people have respect for. Don’t care our word for it, take the word of all the world famous scientists, writers, and creative leaders. Incredible research!

Quick and Bang On Read!

This book should have been a TED Talk. It is a really interesting subject, but the majority of the book was facts, quotes and anecdotes about what successful famous people did who were propents of rest. It was like listening to an extensive book report. The answer to "why" is lacking any significant substance.

Interesting subject, boring book
