We explore the counterintuitive power of rest and the science behind why doing nothing might be exactly what you need for greater creativity, healing, and productivity. Rest is your superpower. Stillness isn't laziness—it's essential internal maintenance.

• The science of stillness: rest activates our default mode network linked to insight, self-reflection and problem-solving
• Neuroscience shows rest helps consolidate learning and strengthens neuroplasticity
• Our society has a cortisol addiction that makes stillness feel uncomfortable or unsafe
• Cultural conditioning ties our value to productivity, making rest feel like weakness
• Inspiration from Einstein, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Seinfeld—all created brilliance through periods of rest
• Rest isn't indulgent—it's revolutionary and aligned with natural rhythms
• Simple affirmations and practices to help you reclaim the power of doing nothing
