We see business as a badge of honor but, ask yourself, does this approach to life work for you? Self-care expert Suzy Reading is here to challenge everything you've ever been told or told yourself about rest. Rest is not only calming and restorative, but energizing and fortifying, a way of preparing you for the days, weeks or months ahead. You can also reset in as little as one minute - when we're already struggling to find a work-life balance, many of us feel like we don't have time to rest. This book is here to take the pressure off.
