Publisher's Summary
Staying busy is easy. Staying well rested - now there's a challenge.
How can you keep your energy, happiness, creativity, and relationships fresh and thriving in the midst of never-ending family demands, career pressures, and the stress of everyday life? In Sacred Rest, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, a board-certified internal medicine doctor, reveals why rest can no longer remain optional.
Dr. Dalton-Smith shares seven types of rest she has found lacking in the lives of those she encounters in her clinical practice and research - physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, sensory, social, creative - and why a deficiency in any one of these types of rest can have unfavorable effects on your health, happiness, relationships, creativity, and productivity. Sacred Rest combines the science of rest, the spirituality of rest, the gifts of rest, and the resulting fruit of rest. It shows rest as something sacred, valuable, and worthy of our respect.
By combining scientific research with personal stories, spiritual insight, and practical next steps, Sacred Rest gives the weary permission to embrace rest, set boundaries, and seek sanctuary without any guilt, shame, or fear.

A useful book that tries to do a bit too much
There’s much in this book I found useful. The author’s description of the categories of rest helped me have language for the different dimensions in which we can be depleted.
As a Christian, I appreciated the Scripture passages referenced: if you’re anti-religion these may grate some.
The only thing that detracts from the book is, ironically, the author’s desire to cram everything in! Towards the end it felt like every idea she’d ever had needed to be included; it sounded cluttered and a bit confusing as a result. Some more considered editing would have made the book as punchy and clear as it deserves to be.
It’s still a useful read though, and I recommend it with these caveats :)

Good to a point
Great start to the book with good structure and easy to grasp concepts. Towards the end there was a lot of religious Christian references at one point every line was a reference to the bible which took away from any practical take aways.
