Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang

3.0

Starts off a five with some quotable sections on why rest habits are as important as work habits but soon devolves into the usual litany of anecdotal examples from cherry picked studies and famous people's lives. And these examples conflict. He praises Hemingway and Churchills rest habits ignoring their alcoholic habits. He praises Bill Gates 18hr reading binges without going outside but then has an entire chapter on importance of exercise. Like all of these books it gives too much breadth and no depth.
