In today's ambitious and competitive world, we are taught that hard work is the only path to success. Taking time for ourselves is seen as selfish, lazy, or weak, and considered the number one reason for failures of all sorts. Without question, a strong work ethic is important. But what happens when hard work is all you have left? With your relationships neglected, your free-time non-existent, and your health in decline, can you really hope to enjoy your success? Just like day and night, rest balances work. A strong rest ethic is all about securing your own oxygen mask first and taking care of yourself. Sound selfish? It's not. A strong rest ethic offers you better health, more time to understand and pursue what you truly value, and a healthier, relationship with work, so that you can better meet the never-ending demands on your time and energy. We can all experience this balance, not by detracting from our work ethic but by including a strong rest ethic. Now included in this expanded Second Edition: Financial Rest and Putting your Rest Ethic to Work....

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I don’t have time to rest, I’m too busy!” This is the reality for many people today who are living stressed out, rushed, and unhappy lives in our 24/7, 365 world. For many, work has become their primary focus, leaving family, health, and personal passions to whatever time remains after their work is done. The thing is, it never seems to be done! All of us are familiar with the idea of a great work ethic: giving your best to your work, showing up early with a great attitude, and working hard and long until the job is done. Someone with a great work ethic is praised in our society; they’re of great character and even moral standing. A great work ethic is the foundation of our society and is essential – no question. But a life that is only focused on work robs us of the health, joy, and experiences that can make our lives and even our work more fun, inspiring, peaceful, and purposeful. This is where a strong rest ethic comes in. Your rest ethic is just as necessary as your work ethic. Just like day and night, summer and winter, rest balances work. A strong rest ethic is all about securing your own oxygen mask first and taking care of yourself. It ensures that you have ample recovery and renewal time and are creating the best version of yourself. Sound selfish? It’s not. A strong rest ethic offers you better health, more time to pursue what you truly value, and a healthier, more balanced relationship with work so you can meet your never-ending list of demands. We can all experience this balance, not by excluding our work ethic, but by introducing our rest ethic.
