The lives of history’s most creative leaders demonstrate that we don’t need to work eighty hours a week to be successful in our careers.
The most prolific people throughout history have built their lives around their profession. They had full and meaningful lives, completing vital tasks while working only a few scheduled hours per day and resting.
In his career, Charles Darwin authored 19 books, including technical volumes on climbing plants and barnacles, as well as the “Descent of Man” and “The Origin of Species,” despite working for only four and a half hours each day on average.
John Lubbock, a successful British author of 29 books, a parliamentarian for over 30 years, a scientist (he invented the ant farm), a pioneering archaeologist, a banker, and a Baron, accomplished all of his life’s work while working only a few hours a day.
In today’s email, we will take a deeper look into one of our greatest superpowers as humans, rest.
