Rest Awhile

Tomorrow will begin our discussion on the last section of the book and thus conclude our first Book Club.

But for today we focus on rest.  Jacobs found resting to be one of the most difficult mandates to follow.  He says, "resting is, paradoxically, difficult.  The writer Judith Shulevitz talks about how avoiding business requires much effort.  She's right.  You can't talk about work, you can't even think about work." (p. 251)

Do you struggle with this as well?
What is most difficult about choosing not to work?
How has modern technology helped or hurt your effort?
