About the author
Rich Lister is a Registered Nurse, a health and feel-better Coach, Master NLP practitioner, Integrated health and rehab specialist and a yoga teacher, yoga nidra practitioner, massage therapist and Ayurveda practitioner. He has worked in the NHS for 15+ years, and still does, most of which in the ER/ED. He suffered a breakdown himself back in 2013 which led him to study alternative health care, and discover that rest is indeed radical, so he now works with his feet firmly in both camps which means he's able to provide a whole-istic approach to health care and wellness. Richard speaks regularly on mental health, meditation, men's issues, and presents radical rest, yoga nidra and medicine for modern times workshops and retreats. This is his first book.
Summary
We live in a hectic world that demands us to always be 'on'. Whether it is pressure at work with deadlines to meet and projects to complete, or families to look after and communicate with – that most of us feel like we're failing at every day - rest is almost always an afterthought. In our busy lives, we've been led to believe that rest, or the notion of rest, is quite the indulgence – something that you get around to only when everything that needs to be done is done, right?

Through powerful, practical tools and healing modalities, along with easy yet transformative techniques that you can apply to your everyday routine and life, Radical Rest will enable you to cultivate a relationship with rest, to help your body heal and more importantly, stay in its optimum operating state. So that you can rest AND get more done.
