"Take a break and read Rest: you'll make smarter decisions, have
better relationships, and be happier and more creative" James
Wallman, author of Stuffocation Do you regularly find yourself too
tired after a long day at your desk to do anything other than binge
TV, or scroll mindlessly through social media? Do you go on holiday
and still compulsively check your email? Do you work through your
lunch-break, often not even leaving your desk to get some fresh
air? For most of us, overwork is the new norm, and we never truly
take the time to rest and recharge. But as Silicon Valley
consultant Alex Soojung-Kim Pang explains in this groundbreaking
book, rest needs to be taken seriously and to be done properly,
because when you rest better you work better. Drawing on emerging
neuroscience, Rest is packed with easy practical tips for
incorporating rest into our everyday: - Go for a long walk to
stimulate and sustain creativity - Schedule deliberate active rest
periods into your diary to try out new activities like painting or
learning a language - Stop working on a task when you know what the
next step will be, this will make it easier to get started the next
day - Establish clear boundaries between work and rest time - Take
a nap during the day to increase alertness, boost your
concentration and decrease fatigue - Get good quality sleep at
night to stay healthy, solidify memories and generate new ideas
When you rest better you'll find that it won't just be your work
which improves - you'll have more time for hobbies, stronger
relationships and you'll sleep better, too. "An incredibly timely
read for my own increasingly rest-starved life. This might be the
book to finally persuade us that downtime isn't in conflict with
good work; rather, it's an essential ingredient of it" Oliver
Burkeman, Guardian
