Alex Soojung-Kim Pang's - Rest has been a game-changer in helping me manage burnout and reframe my relationship with rest. The book emphasizes that rest is not the opposite of work but an essential part of productive, creative, and meaningful life. One of the key takeaways for me was how Pang uses scientific research and historical examples to show that rest isn't a luxury but a necessity.
His practical advice on how to incorporate deliberate rest into daily routines has helped me prevent burnout and feel more energized throughout the day. By adopting strategies like working in focused sprints, taking walks, and prioritizing downtime, I’m now able to recharge both mentally and physically. This book has truly shifted my mindset, showing me that rest isn’t about doing nothing—it’s about restoring my energy, creativity, and well-being.
If you’re feeling overworked or struggling with burnout, Rest offers a fresh, research-backed perspective on how to create a more balanced and sustainable way of living.
Especially as an individual who is managing ADHD, autism and recovering from academic burnout.
