Rest Is Resistance

"Rest is Resistance" by Tricia Hersey advocates for reclaiming power through rest amid the toxic hustle of modern society, linking the act of resting to resisting systemic oppression rooted in capitalism and white supremacy. The book, a mix of philosophy, storytelling, and practical advice, emphasizes that slowing down and prioritizing rest are acts of liberation that foster healing, creativity, and long-term well-being. It frames rest not just as self-care but as a vital, revolutionary act essential for societal and personal transformation.
