Rest

Why You Get More Done When You Work Less

Alex Soojung-Kim Pang

17 min read

overview

No one needs to sell us on to the importance of doing meaningful work. We work so we can earn an income and live rich and full lives. We don’t even mind overworking to achieve the “rich and full” lives we aspire to. But how do we perceive rest? Do we see it as an obstacle to doing meaningful work? Or as a useful inconvenience, we should do without as much as possible? What if the truth is rest increases our ability to do meaningful work, and so we should be mindful and deliberate in taking it? This is the thrust of Alex Soojung-Kim Pang's argument, in this book. Looking at different forms of rest, from sleep to vacation, Silicon Valley futurist and business consultant Alex Soojung-Kim Pang dispels the myth that the harder we work, the better the outcome. He combines rigorous scientific research with a rich array of examples of writers, painters, and thinkers — from Darwin to Stephen King — to challenge our tendency to see work and relaxation as antithetical.

Sapiens

A Brief History of Humankind

Yuval Noah Harari

15 min read

overview

At least six human species inhabited the earth 100,000 years ago. Today there is just one. Us. Homo sapiens. How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to build cities and kingdoms? What will our world be like in the millennia to come? In “Sapiens”, Dr. Yuval Noah Harari traverses the whole of human history, from the very first humans to live on Earth to the radical onset of the Cognitive, Agricultural and Scientific Revolutions. He explores how the trends of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our characters. Bold, intriguing and thought-provoking, “Sapiens” calls to question everything we believed we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our power, and our future.
