Description

We all have the power to transform our lives from the inside out by simply slowing down.
Resting is one of the most impactful practices we can adopt for self-compassion, emotional well-being, collective care, and environmental repair. When we take a few moments each day to pause, we are reclaiming the innate wisdom within our bodies and within the natural world: the wisdom of rest.

Permission to Rest is a timely manifesto and compassionate call to action. It is an invitation for you to pause, look inward, learn to feel your own rhythms, and value rest as a deeply healing, empowering, and spiritual way of life. This book is a revolutionary reminder that we have the power to transform our lives, our communities, and our planet from the inside out. It comes at a time when many of us are urgently being called to do so.

In my telehealth functional medicine clinic, I see all the time the negative impact chronic stress can have on a persons physical health. And as a self-proclaimed JOMO (joy of missing out) enthusiast, Neeses book shows us why slowing down is so important and exactly how to do so in a way that facilitates true rest and growth. Its the guide we didnt know we so desperately needed. Dr. Will Cole, functional medicine expert, and author of New York Times bestseller, Intuitive Fasting and Gut Feelings
