Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

In Rest Is Resistance, author Tricia Hersey argues that our society's obsession with productivity is harmful to our individual physical and mental health. She writes that rest is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength and that it is through rest that we are able to heal, to dream, and to create. She defines rest as not just about sleep, but also about taking time for activities that we enjoy, such as spending time in nature, reading, or spending time with loved ones. Rather than a call to action, the book is a call to inaction.
