cass_lit's review against another edition
While I thought this was interesting, I was clearly not the most intended target. This isn’t a bad thing and we can learn from others’ experiences, but Black people not owing themselves to a system which stole their bodies and their work doesn’t necessarily equate to me, a white person, deserving a rest from capitalism.

Book Summary
A manifesto for rest as resistance and reprogramming from capitalism.
Book Review
It was good. It was repetitive though.
How I Discovered It
A podcast, I think.
A podcast, I think.
Who Should Read It
Anyone living in capitalism
Thoughts & Impressions
It was repetitive, but I think that is intentional. The part about slaves that escaped and lived in the south but evaded capture was cool. It’s nice to know some made it out.
What I Liked About It
Content. That it put me to sleep. (That’s kinda on point.)
What I Didn’t Like About It
Repetitiveness.
How the Book Changed Me
Makes me less judgy toward myself about rest. Makes me want to rest more and figure out how to fit it in. And not feel bad about doing it.

maddness22's review against another edition
While I agree with the general message, the writing style aggravated me and was a bit too woo-woo spiritual heavy for my tastes. It really only served as an inspiration for me to delete my Instagram app for about 12 hours before I re-downloaded it again.
