The problem of rest -- The science of rest -- Stimulating creativity -- Four hours -- Morning routine -- Walk -- Nap -- Stop Sleep -- Sustaining creativity -- Recovery -- Exercise -- Deep play -- Sabbaticals -- The restful life.
Summary: For most of us, overwork is the new normal and rest is an afterthought. In our busy lives, rest is defined as the absence of work: late-night TV binges, hours spent trawling the internet, something to do once we've finished everything else on our to-do lists. But dismissing rest stifles our ability to think creatively and truly recharge. In Rest, 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.
