An Introduction to Rest
Some people harbor the illusion that rest is a luxury they do not have time for, but the reality is that rest is a necessity. The fast pace of modern living can cause people to think they must always be working on one task or another to remain a productive member of society, but the truth is that unless we get enough rest, our productivity suffers.
