#414 - REST: WHY YOU GET MORE DONE WHEN YOU WORK LESS, with Alex Soojung-Kim Pang

from Your Dream Life with Kristina Karlsson · host Kristina Karlsson, Dream Life

Before you dive into today’s episode, take a slow, deep breath with me… and let it go...  Today, I’m joined by the wonderful Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, author of Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less. His book completely reframed how I think about productivity, creativity, and the rhythm of our days. Alex has a magical way of showing us that when we rest well - truly rest - we don’t fall behind. We rise. We think more clearly. We create better. And we step into our dreams with more energy, intention, and joy. Whether you’re closing out a big year, building something exciting, or simply wanting more ease in your days, this conversation offers the permission slip so many of us need: to slow down, breathe, recalibrate… and trust that rest supports your dreams. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did - and I encourage you to listen all the way to the end, because there is so much goodness you won’t want to miss. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.     …and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛 KK x Dream Life & kikki.K Founder P.S.
