Rest, by Alex Pang


This is another library find, courtesy of the staff selections area. Rest will not live on my bookshelf right now, but I certainly may pull it off the library shelves in a year or two to re-read it.

Alex Pang describes the importance of leisure, dedicated hobbies, sabbaticals, and independent creativity that he calls "deep play" to excellence. He uses a mix of examples and studies, varying his approach to maintain variety across the book. This is an easy book to read and holds lessons that American culture often seems to have forgotten.
