Listen now to get the main key ideas from Tricia Hersey's Rest Is Resistance.

Tricia Hersey, an activist and poet, challenges today's ideal of constant productivity in Rest Is Resistance (2022). She argues that rest is a form of resistance against the grind culture perpetuated by oppressive systems like white supremacy and capitalism, which corner people into believing their worth is tied to their productivity. Asserting that rest is a fundamental human right, Hersey calls for collective resistance against any system that prevents us from reconnecting with our true selves and reclaiming our inherent worth.
