RECLAIM POWER, REST AND HEAL FROM GRIND CULTURE
'May we have space to navigate our lives from a liberated rest state. May all of culture slow down. The time to rest is now.' - The Nap Ministry
By founder and creator of The Nap Ministry, Rest is Resistance is a call-to-action for anyone suffering from the toxic urgency of modern-day life. It centres around the systemic issues that cause us to overwork, and ultimately burn out, and offers us liberation through rest. In its simplest form, rest becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it disrupts and pushes back against capitalism and white supremacy. Slowing down moves us away from trying to operate at machine levels of productivity, to make us all more human. In this fierce and tender manifesto, Tricia Hersey elevates rest as a divine right, and paves the way towards a more well-rested life that empowers imagination, invention and healing. Divided into four sections, Rest is Resistance explains Tricia's philosophy and methods, and includes both storytelling and practical advice. It will offer you the guidance and context to craft a rest practice for long-term health, both within yourself and society as a whole.
Praise for Rest Is Resistance: Free yourself from grind culture and reclaim your life: THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
-
[Hersey] is an artist at heart...She approaches the notion of collective rest as a form of performance art, incorporating elements of Black liberation theology, Afrofuturism and poetry into her messaging. - The New York Times
-
This book has honestly left me changed and rearranged ... Coming from a woman with deep Christian faith, descended from those who were enslaved, it hits different. Hersey sees rest as a radical act of resistance against these exploitative forces, and now, I do too. - bestselling author of BRIT(ISH)
-
This book will save lives and transform the world.
-
Extremely important and brilliant work... [Hersey] is a revolution.
-
In a culture that often seems obsessed with output, Hersey is more focused on the inner calm and self-knowledge that can come with proper rest...and on investigating who has traditionally been denied that rest and its myriad benefits. - Vogue
-
Essential...Rest is a necessary step in reclaiming our power to resist systemic oppression.
