I read this for a work project - while I think there are some good pieces here, overall I was really disappointed in the lack of critical engagement the author takes with the examples provided. Most "rest" examples are white men of a certain class who were able to only work 4-5 hours a day, go on walks, take mid afternoon naps, etc. because of the invisible labor of women in their lives. Darwin definitely had a great schedule - but who did his laundry, cooked his meals, cleaned his house, and raised his children?

Additionally, I just am not of the belief that rest is solely a practice we do so we can be more productive in society. Rest is about restoration, remembrance, community, and transformation. While it often is talked about in relationship to however we define work, we can think about it beyond those conceptualizations.

A much, much better book on Rest is Tricia Hersey's book "Rest is Resistance" which DOES discuss inequality barriers to rest and rest practices that feel more holistic, rather than "if we rest well we are more productive."
