"For most of us, overwork is the new normal and rest is an afterthought.

But dismissing rest stifles our ability to think creatively and truly recharge. In Rest, Silicon Valley consultant Alex Pang argues that we can be more successful in all areas of our lives by...

When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions.
