"‘Less is more’ is not just a slogan; to Rachel Jonat, it’s a way
of life … .Of course, The Joy of Doing Nothing is not really about
doing nothing. It’s about liberating yourself from the sense of
urgency that injects so much stress into everyday life. Jonat shows
how to step away from the things you think need doing, so you can
concentrate on what’s really important. Stop overscheduling, scale
back and take care of yourself."

"How many times do you say yes at your own expense? After all,
technically, you do have the time. I love what Rachel Jonat writes
in her new book The Joy of Doing Nothing on saying no. By saying
no, you’re also being honest with the other person, and with
yourself—which is important for both relationships."
*Psych Central*
"We have become masters at multitasking. Rachel Jonat wants us to
consider an alternative. Author of the intriguing new book The Joy
of Doing Nothing, Jonat encourages readers to start small in the
pursuit of doing nothing. By doing so, you will start to unwind
your system, find rest more easily, and ultimately enjoy and engage
in the important parts of your life more fully."

"The Joy of Doing Nothing by Rachel Jonat is such a pleasure to
read, with nuggets of wisdom that build a compelling case for what
most of us already know: Rest, quiet time, and doing nothing
ultimately make us more productive, energetic and happy."
*Organic Spa Magazine*
"The name of the book alone piqued our curiosity from the get-go.
This book, in essence, is telling everyone to bite the bullet and
do it already—reclaim that time! The new, straight-forward read
catalogs the numerous social, emotional, physical, and even
work-related benefits of simply being. Jonat’s concept of ‘doing
nothing’ is considerably open. Overall, it’s a chance to be still,
connect deeply to yourself or someone else, and taking all of those
little pockets of time in our lives and choosing ‘nothing’ over
something."
*MotherMag.com*
"As soon as I saw this title, I knew it was something that I wanted
to read. Already a big fan of just taking time out to “be”; I long
to spend more time without distractions … I loved the simplicity of
the book’s cover … It’s filled with useful observations and
thought-provoking tips, I’ve loved this book and there are so many
tips I want to try."
*The Daisy Pages*
"You’ll learn to stop over-scheduling and make more room for
yourself, your family and the things that truly matter."
*Best Health Magazine (as seen on RD.com)*
"Jonat evangelizes the power of ‘no.’ She encourages us all to say
no to social obligations, no to extra chores, no to missing our own
lives due to constant busyness. In your mind, re-frame ‘doing
nothing’ as a form of self-care, not sloth."
