Worth their weight in your bag,

these CEO-approved reads

mean you can work on your

career and your tan.

F

ed up of flying economy? Want to rub

shoulders with both the Beckhams and

Branson in the first-class lounge? It might

be time to flip your holiday reading habits and use

all that time to expand your mind with a book that’s

a little more business than bonkbuster. Legendary

billionaire Warren Buffett estimates he spends up

to 80 percent of his day with his nose in a book—

and we’re guessing it’s not Bridget Jones’s Diary.

But what exactly are the top career women flicking

through en vacances? We asked, they answered.

Your beach bag just got a whole lot heavier.

Rest: Why

When You

Work Less

Predictably

Irrational

by Dan

Ariely

“This is a clear window

into the imprecision of the

science of behavioural

economics, proving that

while artificial intelligence

may be able to overtake

our minds, it may be a

long time before it takes

our soul.”

“The message is right

there in the title. But

Pang also shows you what

kind of rest is most useful

to make us more creative.

It shows not only are

work and rest not in

opposition, they’re part of

the same process.”
