***INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER***

Disrupt and push back against capitalism and white supremacy. In this book, Tricia Hersey, aka The Nap Bishop, encourages us to connect to the liberating power of rest, daydreaming, and naps as a foundation for healing and justice.

What would it be like to live in a well-rested world? Far too many of us have claimed productivity as the cornerstone of success. Brainwashed by capitalism, we subject our bodies and minds to work at an unrealistic, damaging, and machine‑level pace –– feeding into the same engine that enslaved millions into brutal labor for its own relentless benefit.

In Rest Is Resistance, Tricia Hersey, aka the Nap Bishop, casts an illuminating light on our troubled relationship with rest and how to imagine and dream our way to a future where rest is exalted. Our worth does not reside in how much we produce, especially not for a system that exploits and dehumanizes us. Rest, in its simplest form, becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it asserts our most basic humanity. We are enough. The systems cannot have us.

Rest Is Resistance is rooted in spiritual energy and centered in Black liberation, womanism, somatics, and Afrofuturism. With captivating storytelling and practical advice, all delivered in Hersey’s lyrical voice and informed by her deep experience in theology, activism, and performance art, Rest Is Resistance is a call to action, a battle cry, a field guide, and a manifesto for all of us who are sleep deprived, searching for justice, and longing to be liberated from the oppressive grip of Grind Culture.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Rest Is Resistance left me feeling elated. This book reminds us that we are in charge of our restoration. In these pages, Tricia has offered us an invitation to take our power back.” ―Alexandra Elle, author of After the Rain and How We Heal

“Sometimes the window is open and a breeze comes through singing a sweet song: it is nap time. Grandmother sits on the front porch; grandpapa cuts the grass. It is a song. You nap. I nap. The angels hug us. A book settles beside us. Rest Is Resistance. It is a war we will win.”―Nikki Giovanni, Poet

“With Rest Is Resistance, Tricia Hersey helps us understand that rest is how we can sustain ourselves as we awaken to the truth of the toxic systems of our times. She is not ahead of or above us in this journey, but right here in the midst of social media addiction and overwork and systemic frustration, shouting that she can see an opening. She offers us rest not instead of the incredible work we are doing, but as a way to undergird all our efforts against capitalism and white supremacy. She shows us that our dream space is sacred, and rest is how we reclaim access to the wisdom there. Naps and all kinds of rest are portals through which we return to ourselves. Tricia, sounding like an ancestor who is DONE seeing us suffer, is inviting us to join her and step on through.”―adrienne maree brown, author of Emergent Strategy and Pleasure Activism

“If the rude stillness of rest is a sermon, Tricia Hersey is its underground prophet. Tricia's fierce insistence that rest is resistance is more than a plea for us to take occasional vacations, and nothing less than a spell masterfully crafted to evacuate us from the settlement politics of capture. Read this book. Then sleep, irreverently, knowing you shake worlds as you do.” ―Báyò Akómoláfé, Ph.D., author of These Wilds Beyond our Fences: Letters to My Daughter on Humanity's Search for Home

"Vivid, deeply researched and moving… Hersey’s manifesto towards radical restoration is lifegiving"―Glory Edim, author of On Girlhood and Well-Read Black Girl

“Tricia Hersey’s Nap Ministry changed my life. Rest Is Resistance is more than a book — it is one of the most vital interventions of our time.”―Casey Gerald, author of There Will Be No Miracles Here

“Lay your ass down and read this book right now! Rest Is Resistance is an inspiring, affirming and revolutionary balm. Tricia and the Nap Ministry’s ethos have changed my life, and work, for the better and this manifesto is no different. With compassionate inquiry and actionable offerings, Tricia divinely guides us further into rest, ourselves, and our collective liberation.”―Rachel Ricketts, spiritual activist and author of Do Better

“This book will save lives and transform the world. Tricia Hersey speaks the truth about rest, a truth that begins our unraveling from the lies of white supremacy and capitalism. Gradually we refuse to live at a machine pace. We surrender to the beautiful experiment of being human. We return to our truest selves. This is a book to read again and again, slowly, savoring it sentence by sentence. I'll be giving copies to everyone I work with and everyone I love.”―Emily Nagoski Ph.D., Bestselling author of Come As You Are and Burnout

“Over the span of several days, I read Rest Is Resistance as a meditative practice to alter my pace and ground my soul in this frenzied grind culture. Unlike other texts that list a litany of strategies to stave off exhaustion, Hersey presents a lullaby of liberation that frames rest as a portal for healing and imagination available to all. Once you open this book prepare to breathe more deeply and come to see the world more clearly. In the words of the Nap Bishop, ‘The Doors of the Nap Temple are open. Won’t you come?’”―Gregory C. Ellison II, Ph.D., Founder of Fearless Dialogues and Associate Professor at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology

“Tricia Hersey whispers ‘rest is a form of resistance’ to me, to you, to those who think resistance is always movement. Her message is essential: Sit. Lay down. Slow down. Rest is a necessary step in reclaiming our power to resist systemic oppression.”―Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist and Stamped from the Beginning

“Rest Is Resistance” is a clarion call for our generation. In this pioneering book, Tricia Hersey invites us all to opt out of “grind culture” and embrace our basic and sacred human right to self-care, relaxation, and rest. As Hersey makes clear, this revolutionary praxis is especially important for Black people who have historically and contemporarily been primarily valued for our labor. Ultimately, Hersey reminds us that leisure is not only a way to restore and rejuvenate, but it is also an act of resistance as we hurtle towards end-stage capitalism.”―Bryant Terry, James Beard and NAACP Image award-winning author of Black Food and Editor-in-Chief of 4 Color Books

“Hersey’s ministry background shines through in her passionate and eloquent arguments that read like a clear-eyed sermon… the provocative message will appeal to those tired of grind culture.”―Publishers Weekly

“Exquisitely beautiful…a book to read and reread with a pen in hand and pad beside you; one that you will find yourself wanting to give to friends, coworkers, and strangers.” ―BookPage

"Rest Is Resistance connects the dots between capitalism and white supremacy. Rest, Hersey posits, asserts humanity and pushes back against all-consuming grind culture."―TIME

"A plan of action to help people challenge the idea that our bodies are machines to be used for capitalism’s profit as opposed to truly belonging to us"―Essence

"In a culture that often seems obsessed with output, Hersey is more focused on the inner calm and self-knowledge that can come with proper rest...and on investigating who has traditionally been denied that rest and its myriad benefits."―Vogue

"[Hersey] is an artist at heart...She approaches the notion of collective rest as a form of performance art, incorporating elements of Black liberation theology, Afrofuturism and poetry into her messaging."―The New York Times

"A stunning call to a slower, richer life of faith”―Sojourner

"Get the book and then read, nap, rest, relax and repeat"―Ms. Magazine

"[Rest Is Resistance] teaches readers that rest is an essential tool in reclaiming power and resisting systemic oppression"―Afro News

"extremely important and brilliant work... [Hersey] is a revolution"―Glennon Doyle

"[A] thought-provoking manifesto against ‘hustle culture'"―News@Northeastern

Narrating her own work, Hersey makes the most of her experience as a poet, infusing her words with a driving cadence tempered by her compassion for the suffering that she sees around her...Hersey’s thoughtful championing of rest and resistance makes an impact.―Sarah Hashimoto, Library Journal

LIFE-CHANGING, LIBERATING TRUTH 🩷
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2024
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Absolutely love this book. I’m reading and rereading it every night as a meditation. I also sent a copy to a friend. I work within a very demanding workplace culture and have spent many years hustling. While it’s definitely paid off for me (there are rewards for this insane pace of work, although not distributed equitably to all people), it’s not something I want to continue any longer. I also want to be a different example to my kids and my coworkers. So I am unlearning everything and reimagining the future. There is a better way! Thank you, Tricia!!! You are the perfect person to carry forward this message. I loved reading about your family, your experiences, and the journey you’ve been on to receive these insights, crystallize them, and pass them on to the rest of us.

Loved this book
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2022
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
I got this book and read 95 pages the first day. I’m a big fan of Tricia Hersey’s and her teachings and it was a blessing to experience more of her ideas in this book. I got to know more about her life and why she does what she does. I also love that she doesn’t shy away from being honest about our country and how it’s treated Black people as well as anyone who has been disadvantaged in some way. She’s real and raw, frequently gives reverence to the Ancestors and offers simple ways for us all to get more rest. But there is something unique about this book, it’s not lofty or super academic, rather it’s simple, to the point, dreamy and poetic. I love how she writes about the relationship between her and her grandmother Ora, it makes me think back to my beautiful relationship with my own grandmother. This is a book that I would like to read over and over again, continuing to glean insight, from a freedom fighter. I say freedom fighter , because it takes a lot to stand up and go against the status quo, and for that I thank Tricia for putting herself out there in the face of a lot of pushback. I also plan to get the audiobook for a different experience of the book. Highly recommend.

🎤 CHECK 1,2 1,2... just testing this thing out. Where do I start with this delicately weaved word map to liberation-- the title; a simple statement, a hard fact to accept, Rest IS Resistance... & then to be followed up with; A Manifesto, hello world do we really know what this means for us?

Tricia's words throughout this declaration of necessities, gives BIG "shawty's like a melody in my head" ENERGY!! We Will Rest... while I've been a committed member of the mission since 2017, my spirit was still captured with her detailing personal events that brought her to manifesting this now reality. I will Rest for you (oh God real tears have joined the review).

I was born not only into a world who equates your value to your productivity but also a family who's suffered for trying to keep up in this rat race. God really did a BIG ONE by introducing me to The Nap Ministry, The Bishop & Rest is Resistance. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book & the mission to all, no matter the age race or belief system. There is an unexplainable joy felt when you start to reclaim your time & body and I pray that you will.

I Found My Rest Tribe
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2023
Format: KindleVerified Purchase
Rest is Resistance was like YES, I finally found my Rest Tribe!! I would consider it an awakening and cause I care about. Rest is Resistance was not a revelation since I already recognize that I am exhausted, understand why I am exhausted and know who makes me exhausted, but I do appreciate how Hersey opens the door to dive deeper into what/who is to blame for my exhaustion. If you ever felt you were worked to a point where it was downright disrespectful, Rest is Resistance is confirmation that you are not being dramatic nor are you alone in your concerns for what your body, mind, soul and spirit need and have been deprived of due to the go hard or go home mentality. Rest is Resistance is aligned with Woke Culture, but the wake up call is in the urgency to Rest and just be. I resist a system that insists I prove my worth by being a workaholic! I am just waiting for the Rest is Resistance merchandise in a tee shirt to share the ideology with my community that Rest is a Right not a privilege that has to be earned at the expense of driving ourselves to burnout to prove we are worthy of respect or non poverty.

Insightful but not the balm for my soul that I was expecting
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2024
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
This book contains some beautiful lines and stories, and is a work of art, however, was not the soothing, sweet balm for the soul that I thought it would be. A forewarning. Who is her intended audience, and how does she want us to feel? As a reader, I feel heavy afterwards and actually more tired. She seems to be stuck on the horrors of the past, which are brought up again and again and again. How can she truly experience peace and rest if continually dwelling upon slavery, segregation, white supremacy, and the evils of capitalism? Our country was built by people from so many walks of life, a fact that is not addressed in this book. Additionally, some other European countries running on capitalism enjoy a slower pace of living than ours. Must rest be framed then as “resistance” to capitalism? Is it not possible to live within capitalism and be at a slower, more leisurely and pleasurable pace? I look towards Italy and France where more people are thriving.

This was the book I knew I needed yet still didn’t know how much. The reminders of how necessary rest is and how deserving we all are to get it were a balm to my soul. I started following The Nap Ministry on social media years ago. But there is only so far 180-360 characters can take you. The book was absolutely an essential read for me as I navigate staying connected mind-body-soul.
