Melinda French Gates says everyone should read this book

In a recent interview with Wired, billionaire philanthropist Melinda French Gates made clear she is no friend of hustle culture and nonstop busyness. 

“My parents were countercultural. They actually taught us that you needed breaks,” she says. “We took Sundays off as a family, and guess what else? My parents actually taught me the importance of rest, of taking a short nap every day.” 

Building quiet, restful moments into your day doesn’t just help you think more clearly and feel better physically, she continues.
