We Will Rest!: The Art of Escape (Rest Is Resistance, Bk. 2)

Focusing on the importance, nay, imperative of rest, this book explores rest as something sacred and ultimately an integral part of resisting toxic grind culture and dehumanizing work systems. The author, Tricia Hersey, is the founder of the Nap Ministry—an organization that aims to promote the importance of adequate sleep in a world that increasingly demands burnout as a quasi-prerequisite for rest. This book talks about envisioning a new world, one where rest is part and parcel of modern resistance to oppressive systems. Through storytelling, poetry, art, meditations, and more, Hersey has created a manifesto that’s a call to action to get some effin’ rest.
