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.

C'est là qu'un jour tout a commencé, et c'est là que tout a fini. Il ne peut pas intervenir parce qu'il est resté figé ici et n'a jamais pu en bouger depuis ce jour. Il n'a pas dépassé neuf ans et là-bas des adultes sont en train de se battre, ses frères qui, eux, ont continué à vivre.

Mais il m'a appris à peindre. Il devait être le seul peintre de toute l'armée coloniale, mais là-bas on ne faisait pas attention à ces détails. Il m'apprit à peindre, et en échange je lui écrivis son histoire. Il dit, et je pus montrer, et je vis le fleuve de sang qui traverse ma ville si paisible, je vis l'art français de la guerre qui ne change pas, et je vis l'émeute qui vient toujours pour les mêmes raisons, des raisons françaises qui ne changent pas."
