Book synopsis
In Rest, Dr. Alex Soojung-Kim Pang challenges the modern obsession with overwork by demonstrating that rest is not a passive luxury, but a vital partner to productivity. Drawing on neuroscience, history, and the habits of world-class achievers, the book argues that we can do more by working less. Pang reveals how intentional practices like long walks, naps, and deep play are essential for sustaining long-term creativity and peak performance.
