Brimming with encouraging wisdom, easy-to-follow guidance, and illuminating illustrations, Ximena Vengoechea’s Rest Easy is an antidote to burnout culture and an invitation to find joy, balance, and energy through the transformative power of rest.

Through a combination of illuminating illustrations, storytelling, fascinating sidebars, and straightforward takeaways, Rest Easy offers a distinctive approach to well-being. Ximena distills her research into a range of actionable, accessible rest techniques. Because rest practices are not one-size-fits-all, readers are encouraged to experiment and find what works best for their lifestyle and needs. All of the practices presented in these pages are proven to improve rest, reduce stress, and boost joy, guided by the criteria that each must be easy, affordable (or free), enjoyable, and effective.

Ximena will be visiting organizations virtually and in-person to discuss the common themes of this latest book. In this signature keynote, Ximena guides audiences through proven methods for relaxation and renewal, including meditative activities, sound, visualizations, time in nature, and more. Audiences will learn restful practices to incorporate into everyday life as well as guidance on how to set healthy boundaries and overcome obstacles preventing meaningful rest in a world obsessed with productivity. And she’ll share her own journey in finding ways to live a more restful life.

Perfect for: 

  • Business strategy & leadership audiences

  • Corporate culture & change management

  • People experiencing burnout or seeking stress relief 

  • Work-life balance, mindfulness and wellness enthusiasts 

  • Parents, students, or anyone whose job or personal circumstances are causing suffering and burnout
