In this episode, I talk to consultant and author, Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, who has written two brilliant books that demonstrate the importance of incorporating deliberate rest into your life, and the value of a shorter working week - for example, a 4-day week or 6-hour day.Both books have impacted the way that I structure my time and influence my thinking about the future of work.Alex is a fascinating guy and has spent years studying organisations from a range of industries, including agencies, restaurants, call centres and manufacturing businesses. In our conversation, we cover a range of topics, from reducing the number and duration of meetings to the impact of AI on work.If you enjoy the show, please make sure to Subscribe and to sign up to my newsletter, Future Work/Life.Links:Future Work/LifeRest: Why You Get More Done When You Work LessShorter: How Working Less Will Revolutionise the Way Your Company Gets Things Done Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
