This might be the book to finally persuade us that downtime isn't in conflict with good work; rather, it's an essential ingredient of it.

Rest will fundamentally change the way we see work in the years to come. Give it to your boss! Give it to your work-obsessed spouse! Give it to your frazzled office buddies!
A new paradigm of work is emerging and this fascinating book will be an indispensable guide (Peter Fleming author of 'The Mythology of Work')
I love Rest. It places rest back on the pedestal it so clearly deserves and generously points out - through
great stories and acute insight - things to reflect on and build into our own lives. (

Good books are interesting and valuable; but the best books reframe the way you see the world, getting you thinking differently about everyday situations and assumptions. Rest does just that. With a fascinating combination of research and historical examples, your view of rest - as what you do when you are not working - is turned upside down.
A thoroughly enjoyable, insightful and life-enhancing book. (
