Descansa

Para la mayoría de nosotros, el exceso de trabajo es la nueva normalidad. En nuestras ajetreadas vidas, el descanso se define como la ausencia de trabajo o aquello que hacemos cuando hemos terminado toda nuestra lista de tareas pendientes; pero generalmente estás tan cansado para disfrutar de esos momentos que terminas enganchado durante horas a la televisión por la noche o navegando por internet sin saber muy bien lo que estás buscando, simplemente dejándote llevar.Según su autor, Alex Pang, famoso consultor de Silicon Valley, podemos ser más exitosos en todas las áreas de nuestra vida al reconocer la importancia del descanso: trabajar mejor no significa trabajar más, sino trabajar menos, de forma más productiva y descansar mejor. Tratar el descanso como una actividad pasiva secundaria al trabajo mina nuestras posibilidades de una vida gratificante y significativa. Descansa derriba todo lo que nuestra cultura nos ha enseñado sobre el trabajo y muestra que sólo descansando mejor podemos empezar a vivir mejor. Grabado en español ibérico (España).

Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less

"Rest is such a valuable book. If work is our national religion, Pang is the philosopher reintegrating our bifurcated selves." ---Arianna Huffington, New York Times Book Review Overwork is the new normal. Rest is something to do when the important things are done-but they are never done. 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. "Deliberate rest," as Pang calls it, is the true key to productivity, and will give us more energy, sharper ideas, and a better life. Rest offers a roadmap to rediscovering the importance of rest in our lives, and a convincing argument that we need to relax more if we actually want to get more done.
