Rest is Productive: 100 Mantras to Quiet the Guilt and Heal from Burnout

By Paulo Pinto Joao

Stop earning your right to exist.

We have been lied to. We've been told that our value is tied to our inbox, our bank account, and our "hustle." We've been trained to feel a deep, gnawing guilt the moment we sit down to breathe, convinced that "doing nothing" is a failure.

Rest is Productive is your official permission slip to stop.

This isn't a 300-page manual on time management or a complex guide to "optimising" your life. It is a 100-page rebellion. Each page contains a single, striking reminder that you are a human being, not a "resource."

Designed with minimalist white space to give your overstimulated brain a place to rest, this book is for:

The overachiever who doesn't know how to turn off.

The creative running on empty.

The soul that is simply tired of being tired.

These 100 affirmations don't ask anything of you. They don't give you "homework" or add to your to-do list. Instead, they quiet the noise of hustle culture and help you reclaim your humanity. They remind you that you were worthy before you did anything today, and you are worthy still.

Put down the to-do list. Pick up your peace.

"Perfect for gifting to a friend (or yourself) in need of a soft place to land."
