Many of us are interested in how to work better, but we don’t think very much about how to rest better. Productivity books offer life hacks, advice about how to get more done, or stories about what CEOs or famous writers do. But they say almost nothing about the role of rest in the lives or careers of creative, productive people. When they do mention rest, they tend to treat it as nothing more than a physical necessity or inconvenience. – Location 65
In reality that quote sums up the thrust of the book well. We spend so much time worrying about how to get more done, often sacrificing any type of rest we could be getting. One of the hardest things personally I deal with when talking to my cycling coach is that I love riding my bike, and sometimes that extra ride I can sneak in isn’t good for training because I really needed to let my body recover.
In this book, Alex Pang, explores what it means to rest well and how society traps us out of getting the rest we need to be excellent at our jobs and lives.
