Permission to Rest: Revolutionary Practices for Healing, Empowerment, and Collective Care

An innovative call to action encouraging us to put aside our electronics, acknowledge our burnout, and take care of our basic needs for self-care, regeneration, and mindfulness,

Permission to Rest is an impassioned plea for a more controlled, resource-aware, and rested living in a culture that continuously tells us to do more of everything while also pressuring us to do nothing. Ashley Neese is a wellness expert who uses scientific evidence, contemplative questions, personal writings, and physical activities to help us decelerate from the rush, go inward, and unwind. Neese explores popular conceptions of sleep and provides encouragement and direction to overcome the discomfort, guilt, and shame that frequently surface when we try to reduce our pace.
