Rest Is Resistance | Tricia Hersey

Why it is here:

This is the political reframing of health.

Hersey (known as The Nap Bishop) argues that "Grind Culture" is a legacy of a system that views bodies as machines for extraction.

She frames Rest not merely as a "wellness hack" or a way to recharge for more work, but as a divine human right and a radical act of resistance against an exploitative system.

We include this to stop "Vitality" from becoming just another productivity metric.

It empowers the leader to reclaim their body’s sovereignty.

It teaches that slowing down is not laziness; it is an act of deprogramming.

By refusing to run at the speed of the machine, we create the space for a more human rhythm to emerge.
