REST Why You Can Get More Done When You Work Less

Still think you're a work hero if you spend more hours at the office and check emails at the dinner table? Author Pang argues that, paradoxically, the most creative and productive people are those who enjoy "deliberate rest." In no-nonsense, declarative tones that suit the author's style, narrator Adam Sims moves the author's message ahead at just the right pace as he delivers a mix of scientific studies and anecdotes about writers, scientists, and other creative types who thrive by insisting on integrating leisure into their schedules. Not all of the arguments are equally compelling--you may not be able to convince your boss to let you nap--but Sims's confident narration ensures they all get their due.
