In this episode of The Path of Least Resistance, I make the case that rest is not laziness, it’s leverage. If you’ve ever struggled to sit still, felt guilty for taking a break, or caught yourself chasing busyness for its own sake, this one is for you.
I share why our culture glorifies action, why boredom has a secret job in your brain, and how to build everyday stillness into real leadership advantage. We look at Vedic Meditation, the hypnagogic sweet spot great thinkers used, and a simple way to switch contexts without frying your nervous system.
