In the SEAL teams, one of our mottos is: Don’t be that guy.
In this blog, “that guy” is the person who checks (and sends) emails during their vacation. It is the person who brings work home from the office or goes into the office on the weekends hoping to get a jump start to their week.
The ancient Greeks saw rest as a great gift – as the pinnacle of civilized life.
Virtually every ancient civilization believed that work provided the means to live, and rest gave the meaning to life.
