March 13 is National Napping Day, and in honor of the call to get a little more rest, Dr. Nanika Coor shares insights from Tricia Hersey’s recent book, Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto. You’ll hear about the importance of slowing down and resting, rest as a political act of resistance, the harmful messages American parents inevitably ingest about rest, and how parents may unintentionally pass those messages on to their kids.

Project Parenthood is hosted by Dr. Nanika Coor. A transcript is available at Simplecast.
