I know what you’re thinking: The concept of rest is a no-brainer when it comes to a book about service fatigue. If there’s one way to bust out once and for all, it makes sense to think the answer is simply to rest more. And sure, managing your rest— getting enough and of good quality—is an essential part of managing stress levels and showing up to work ready to perform.
