After seeing the author on social media I found this at a book sale and snapped it up. Still feels like I'm always on a treadmill, but now I put a priority on taking regular breaks. 💖✨
"Our worth does not reside in how much we produce, especially not for a system that exploits and dehumanizes us. Rest, in its simplest form, becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it asserts our most basic humanity. We are enough. The systems cannot have us. This book is rooted in spiritual energy and centered in Black liberation, womanism, somatics, and Afrofuturism. With captivating storytelling and practical advice, it is a call to action for all of us who are sleep deprived, searching for justice, and longing to be liberated from the oppressive grip of Grind Culture. Disrupt and push back against capitalism and white supremacy by connecting to the liberating power of rest, daydreaming, and naps as a foundation for healing and justice. Tricia Hersey, aka The Nap Bishop, encourages us to elevate rest as a form of resistance and a divine human right.What would it be like to live in a well-rested world? Far too many of us have claimed productivity as the cornerstone of success. Brainwashed by capitalism, we subject our bodies and minds to work at an unrealistic, damaging, and machine-level pace––feeding into the same engine that enslaved millions into brutal labor for its own relentless benefit."
