Thank you NetGalley and Chronicle Books for the ARC! I loved this! As a person on a journey to really rest this had practical and helpful insights and tools to aid me on my journey. Highly recommend!

In today’s fast-paced world, we are all in need of a little more rest. From the chronically burnt out to the occasionally overextended, Ximena Vengoechea presents actionable steps to work your way to living (and resting) better in her book Rest Easy.

Vengoechea covers a lot of ground in this book, exploring both theories and science surrounding rest, and presenting readers with a plethora of ideas they can try to live a more restful life. Her rest tips go beyond getting to bed early and getting 8 hours of sleep a night. She explores a variety of practices, some of which involve sleep, and others that do not.

I realized that Vengoechea knows what she is talking about when she discussed the benefits of nature, and how that spending time in it can restore us in ways we never knew were possible. This is something that I have discovered about myself in recent years, realizing how much better I feel when I spend time outdoors. Vengoechea affirmed my feelings about the restorative benefits of nature and inspired me to try out some of her other tips and techniques since she was so spot-on about nature’s blessings.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to incorporate more rest into their life.

This book has helpful strategies and explanations/arguments about the importance of rest. I love that it comes from a place of self-compassion and self-awareness, while also acknowledging the circumstantial limitations of rest for some people.

Powerful and informative book with actionable steps and deep insight to prevent burnout, find rest, and recover from the hectic world we live in today. Chronic over workers, burnt out people, and those who are always stressed will find refuge in this book.
