‘This is not to be missed’ Stylist

We are exhausted. Drained; anxious; overworked and under-resourced. Yet the ‘solution’ cannot be self-care, yoga retreats, or the occasional massage when this tiredness is a symptom of a desperately unhealthy society. We cannot simply ‘fix ourselves’ under a system that demands and takes so much from us. What is needed is a complete redesign that puts a life of abundance first and foremost.

Through the lens of a Black Feminist, abolitionist, and nature ally, Evie Muir takes us on a journey of rejuvenation, a revolution for what a world of true rest – radical rest – could look like, and how it could feel. Exploring the core emotions surrounding exhaustion – transitioning from anger, sadness, and anxiety to the hope, joy, and abundance that deep change can bring.

As it unfolds, Evie speaks to those most affected by and working against exhaustion – Black, queer, disabled, activists of color. And what becomes clear as we hear these lived experiences is that a world of radical rest must exist in community – with one another, our bodies, and the natural world.

‘Radical Rest’ is a blueprint for change and a balm for the soul. Step inside and open the door to a hopeful and healed future.

‘An important read that gets to the root of exhaustion and how to navigate life with intention, gratitude, and a deep commitment to self and community.’ Leah Thomas, author of ‘The Intersectional Environmentalist’

‘Open the door to a hopeful and healed future with ‘Radical Rest’: a balm for the exhausted soul.’ Minna Salami, author of ‘Sensuous Knowledge’
