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.

Rest is Resistance is not self-care: it is the urgent wake-up call you need to nap, rest and, most importantly, dream once more.

Kritikerstimmen

Extremely important and brilliant work... [Hersey] is a revolution. (Glennon Doyle, activist and author of UNTAMED, LOVE WARRIOR and CARRY ON, WARRIOR)
This book will save lives and transform the world. Tricia Hersey speaks the truth about rest, a truth that begins our unraveling from the lies of white supremacy and capitalism. Gradually we refuse to live at a machine pace. We surrender to the beautiful experiment of being human. We return to our truest selves. This is a book to read again and again, slowly, savoring it sentence by sentence. I'll be giving copies to everyone I work with and everyone I love. (Emily Nagoski Ph.D., bestselling author of COME AS YOU ARE and BURNOUT)
Tricia Hersey whispers 'rest is a form of resistance' to me, to you, to those who think resistance is always movement. Her message is essential: Sit. Lay down. Slow down. Rest is a necessary step in reclaiming our power to resist systemic oppression. (Ibram X. Kendi, activist, professor and author of HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST and STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING)
[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.
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.
With Rest Is Resistance, Tricia Hersey helps us understand that rest is how we can sustain ourselves as we awaken to the truth of the toxic systems of our times. She is not ahead of or above us in this journey, but right here in the midst of social media addiction and overwork and systemic frustration, shouting that she can see an opening. She offers us rest not instead of the incredible work we are doing, but as a way to undergird all our efforts against capitalism and white supremacy. She shows us that our dream space is sacred, and rest is how we reclaim access to the wisdom there. Naps and all kinds of rest are portals through which we return to ourselves. Tricia, sounding like an ancestor who is DONE seeing us suffer, is inviting us to join her and step on through. (adrienne maree brown, author of EMERGENT STRATEGY and PLEASURE ACTIVISM)
Rest Is Resistance connects the dots between capitalism and white supremacy. Rest, Hersey posits, asserts humanity and pushes back against all-consuming grind culture.
A plan of action to help people challenge the idea that our bodies are machines to be used for capitalism's profit as opposed to truly belonging to us.

Rest as new vision

.... but the writing is quite repetitive. Book could easily have been shortened to a third.

Great message...

In a time in which we all feel compelled to do more all the time, to rest is more than an act of self preservation. Through her deeply personal story Tricia Hersey reminds us, that to rest is to connect to our humanity and invites us to imagine a world where our worth is not tied to hustle and productivity and our attention is, at least for some time, our own. What makes this book so different from many others exploring mindfulness, is that Hersey acknowledges the interconnectedness of social and political barriers and describes rest not as a refugee from every day life, but as a political act strongly connected to it. I wish I could put this book on every schools reading list, because the message is so important today. Since I can't, I will instead recommend you listen to her words with an open mind and let her insight guide you to a new perspective on rest and the world.

The truth we need to hear

Life changingly good. WOW. So many life lessons about how systems are setup to accept exhaustion and burnout as the status quo; desirable even.
I'll come back to this again and again for sure.

Life changingly good. WOW. So many lessons.
