Episode notes

"If jerry had tried to deal with that added responsibility and work load in that burned out state he was already in, it really might have finished him off," says John Sutter. "These ideas in essentialism and in effortless didn't just change jerry's life, according to his wife, it saved his life." Do you know a hero? Nominations are open for 2013 CNN Heroes.

Have you ever pushed yourself past the point of exhaustion and woke up the next day completely burned out?

In this episode, I explore how setting a sustainable pace allows you to reach peak performance, not for a day, a week, or a month but your entire life. You'll learn why rest is a critical component for performing at your best and why one of the most important things high achievers can do is learn how to relax.

If you struggle with the tension of not doing enough and doing too much, then this episode is for you.
