We live in a world that prizes productivity, rewards busyness, and often makes rest feel like laziness. But is doing nothing really a waste of time? What is rest for? And have we forgotten something important about slowness, stillness, and simply being? In this session, we’ll explore the place of rest in a good human life. We’ll think about why so many of us feel guilty when we stop, why constant activity can leave us feeling strangely empty, and whether idleness might sometimes be thoughtful, necessary, or even wise. Along the way, we’ll consider questions about work, value, attention, and what it means to live well.
