5.0

This is the second time I'm reading "Rest is Resistance" and it's even better than the first time I read it. I listened to the audiobook the first time and decided to buy the print version shortly after listening to the audiobook. 

This time, as I carefully and intentionally read through the print version, I absorbed the text more deeply and gained new insights. 

If I could give "Rest is Resistance" a 20/10, I would. This book has absolutely changed my life and I look forward to reading this again and again.

I was expecting this book to be written in a similar style/format to other personal development books I've read but it's pretty much an autobiography.

I bought this book after reading Cleo Wade's other book, Remember Love. 

The best way for me to describe this book is that it is a warm and soothing hug. A hug that I will seek out over and over again, whether in good times or hard times.

Thank you Cleo Wade for this gem. It truly blessed my soul.

This was a quick read but a very informative book. I've been thinking about integrating sensory appraches in my artmaking and this book was a good introduction for doing so. A great addition to my growing art library.
