What happens when the life you built starts asking something different from you?
Join us for 60 Minutes With Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, PhD, bestselling author of Rest, for a thoughtful online conversation exploring burnout, rest, sabbaticals, and the growing desire many people feel in midlife to step back and rethink how they live and work.
Alex’s work has helped reshape the conversation around productivity, creativity, and sustainable performance, challenging the idea that pushing harder is always the answer. Together, we’ll explore what science teaches us about rest, why stepping away can often help us move forward, and how intentional pauses and sabbaticals can create space for clarity, renewal, and meaningful change.
We’ll also discuss why so many accomplished people reach midlife feeling both successful and exhausted at the same time, and what it might look like to build a life that is not only productive, but sustainable and fully alive.
The format is relaxed and conversational. Peter Reek will host a live discussion with Alex, with audience questions and reflections woven throughout the evening.
Because sometimes the next chapter of life doesn’t begin with pushing harder.
Sometimes it begins with creating space to listen.
