Show Notes: MLDC Book of the Week – Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work LessEpisode 291 of The HaltingWinter Podcast

Charles Darwin changed the world by working only four hours a day. Meanwhile, most city managers are grinding out 60+ hour workweeks while their decision quality deteriorates from exhaustion. This week's MLDC Book of the Week challenges the martyrdom culture in local government leadership: "Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less" by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang reveals why the most productive leaders throughout history worked far less than you'd think and what neuroscience tells us about how your brain actually solves complex problems.
