"Rest is such a valuable book. If work is our national religion, Pang is the philosopher reintegrating our bifurcated selves."---Arianna Huffington, New York Times Book Review 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. "Deliberate rest," as Pang calls it, is the true key to productivity, and will give us more energy, sharper ideas, and a better life. Rest offers a roadmap to rediscovering the importance of rest in our lives, and a convincing argument that we need to relax more if we actually want to get more done.

Religion and spirituality constitute the integral part of most of the Indian families. Upbringing the children in the family then becomes an easier job as the children are imbibed with the teachings from the family members. Nachiket, eighteen years old, got the same rearing from his parents and mainly from his grandparents. He learnt and memorized stories from Vedas and Upanishadas. Why should he write and maintain a diary? Well he followed the footsteps of his parents and grandparents. The diary consoled his parents while they faced the toughest time. It also relieved Nachiket once he could finish writing what he wanted to. Have you ever seen any child consoling his parents? The diary offered sequential surprizes to his parents who never expected anything of that sort was going to happen to them. They wondered what must have triggered his spirituality. And why? The mindboggling and yet thought provoking novel makes anyone contemplative about life.

† Introduction † This story belongs to an era about which we do not know anything, it is an untold aspect, a completely fictional narrative. Do not consider it another form of The Bible, it is a fictional and different form of the great scripture. The story of painful torture of a different, loving couple attempting to revive the negative character of The Bible - "Judas Iscariot" (the demonic spirit) and to reveal the miraculous powers of God the Son - "Jesus Christ". Judas Iscariot reveals his own being by his own powers and Jesus Christ by his miraculous powers from small and big events. This story is completely fictional. It has no relation to any living or dead person, religion, sect, event. But it shows the unique and supernatural love for the God of the Christian religion "Jesus Christ". It also shows the love sensation and disconnection of women and men. The woman sees her quality in beauty and a woman who does not have these qualities uses a variety of resources to achieve beauty. But the woman who is beautiful in the body and nature or says that God has beautified her with a boon of beauty a sign stain or say that a Wart is generated on her face, then she tries to remove it from her face. Because it is a useless sign for a beautiful woman. Whom every beautiful woman would like to remove, but this Wart on the face becomes a supernatural power synonymous with a divine boon so what would you call it ?........... † Supernatural Wart † † A G O N Y - The Pang of Death † Through this story, the fictional sub-religion of the Christian religion - "Allnessmaha" is introduced. Which are just a sign of awakening your religious feelings and consciousness. May your faith remain on the great religion - Christianity. There is no mention of "Allnessmaha" in any religious book. This is only imaginary thinking, do not consider it to be true. The request is from you moving away from criticisms read the story full of love story love devotion and supernatural powers rejoicing and devotion. This is an attempt to recognize love and devotion to God, If a positive response is received from you, then this story will be tried to carry on. In this story, no such incident has been mentioned that has hurt your religious sentiments, yet I apologize if there is any unnecessary error or mistake. † Request † The story is based on Christian Religion. Therefore, this story has been translated into English. The story features the Christian son of Christian Religion - "Jesus Christ" as a positive, true character. Who through miraculous, invisible powers, through events, reveal their own being. On the other hand, the negative character of The Bible and the disciple of Jesus Christ, due to which Jesus Christ was crucified. Attempts have been made to revive that negative character - "Judas Iscariot" who appears to be present by his own unseen events. The sketches of the Main page and Last page of the book are presented. As a writer, this is my first attempt. I am convinced that there is something new and unprecedented in this story. The purpose of this story is that you don't do things that God doesn't like. You should neither let any devil dominate your mind nor deceive any person just as Satan entered the mind of "Judas Iscariot" and acted in deceit that caused God the Son "Jesus Christ" to be subjected to atrocities and was forced to die after suffering torture. "Supernatural Wart - AGONY – The Pang of Death" In this story, the Christians of God - "Jesus Christ" and his disciple "Judas Iscariot", in whose mind Satan had entered, are spiritually resurrected centuries later. To know the basic form of the story, it will be necessary to read the entire story and make a readable assessment. Its interestingness lies in its original form. I hope that this first attempt of mine will be successful because of your publication and the immense love of all the readers. Indian Author Sheetal Gupta

»Die präzise Beschreibung einer realen Begebenheit aus dem letzten Jahrhundert, die ein erhellendes Schlaglicht auf die USA von heute wirft.« Thomas Wörtche Über das Buch 20. Oktober 1907 in Kingston, Ulster County, irgendwo in den Catskill Mountains. Ein Galgen wird gezimmert, Strick und Fallhöhe getestet, die braven Bürger strömen herbei, die Musik spielt fröhliche Weisen. Der Delinquent ist Oscar Jukes, Sippenoberhaupt einer Familie, die man heute »white trash« nennen würde. (Halb-)Analphabeten mit betrüblichen hygienischen und moralischen Standards und viel krimineller Energie. Die Stützen der Gesellschaft, die ihn zum Tode verurteilt haben, sind religiöse Eiferer voll alttestamentarischem Furor mit Sympathien für den und eigenen politischen und ökonomischen Interessen. Angeklagt ist Oscar Jukes unter anderem wegen Kannibalismus, weil man im Kochkessel einschlägige Rückstände gefunden hat. Was ist aber wirklich passiert? Was wird gespielt? Und muss Oscar Jukes am Ende hängen? »The Cannibal of Pang Yang« ist schon allein deshalb eine Sensation, weil es die erste Erzählung des Edgar-Preisträgers Thomas Adcock nach einer jahrelangen Pause ist. Zudem ist der Text selbst ein kleines Juwel konzentrierter und sarkastischer Erzählkunst.
WINNER OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE An instruction manual for life, love, and relationships by a brilliant young scientist whose Asperger's syndrome allows her--and us--to see ourselves in a different way...and to be better at being human Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of eight, Camilla Pang struggled to understand the world around her. Desperate for a solution, she asked her mother if there was an instruction manual for humans that she could consult. With no blueprint to life, Pang began to create her own, using the language she understands best: science. That lifelong project eventually resulted in An Outsider's Guide to Humans, an original and incisive exploration of human nature and the strangeness of social norms, written from the outside looking in--which is helpful to even the most neurotypical thinker. Camilla Pang uses a set of scientific principles to examine life's everyday interactions: - How machine learning can help us sift through data and make more rational decisions - How proteins form strong bonds, and what they teach us about embracing individual differences to form diverse groups - Why understanding thermodynamics is the key to seeking balance over seeking perfection - How prisms refracting light can keep us from getting overwhelmed by our fears and anxieties, breaking them into manageable and separate "wavelengths" Pang's unique perspective of the world tells us so much about ourselves--who we are and why we do the things we do--and is a fascinating guide to living a happier and more connected life.
