When I read the Alex Soojung-Kim Pang's book Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less, I was immediately intrigued by his claim that in modern culture we glorify being busy at the expense of creativity, and even productivity. As a Silicon Valley veteran, Alex is no stranger to the possibility of burnout, and his book provides solutions that can increase our enjoyment of life while making us more creative and productive. I even discovered that many of the principles he explores in the book apply as much to the world of spiritual practice as they do to the world of work.
