Today busyness has become a badge of honor. We want to say we’re busy, yet at the same time we feel exhausted. Instead, we should start taking rest seriously as a method of self-care and this book can help us to work out how. The Art of Rest draws on ground-breaking research Claudia Hammond collaborated on — ‘The Rest Test’: the largest global survey into rest ever undertaken. Counting down through the top ten activities which people find most restful, Hammond explains why rest matters, what really works, and offers a roadmap for a new, more restful, and balanced life.
