A full-colour gift book from the author of the New York Times bestseller Rest Is Resistance, featuring meditations, poems, and stories highlighting rest as a form of resistance and as a divine right
A modern sacred objectbeautifully illustrated and inspired by hymnals and abolitionist pamphletshelping to escape from grind culture and dehumanizing systems, by Tricia Hersey, effin genius (Glennon Doyle) and bestselling author of Rest is Resistance
Give the gift of rest and escape with this exquisitely designed volume of inspiring writings by Tricia Hersey, powerfully illustrated by award-winning designer George McCalman and featuring a silk ribbon marker. We dont believe we are worthy of rest unless we burn ourselves out to accomplish it. Our thinking has been limited by disconnection, sleep deprivation, and the unattainable call for perfection. The systems will never give us rest. It is something we must create for ourselves and each other.
Just as the North Star guided the enslaved on their journeys to freedom, visionary artist and founder of The Nap Ministry Tricia Hersey leads us to imagine a new world: one in which we subvert the narrative of productivity at all costs and embrace rest as a healing spiritual practice.
We Will Rest! is a modern sacred object, medicine for a sick and exhausted world. Weaving together meditations and poetry with storytelling and art, Hersey provokes liberation through refusal and trickster rebellion in the face of capitalism and white supremacy.
There is another way. Focus on the escape. Focus on the transformation. We can just be. We are beautiful. We are enough. We are escape artists. We Will Rest!

Have you ever noticed
when you ask for rest
the body becomes a holy trumpet
the walls come tumbling down?
