Take a Break: A Case for More Rest
Contrary to what many Boomers believe, not all youngsters today are lazy. In fact, there are many people who struggle to relax at all because they feel that it is a waste of time.

Today, we talk about the importance of rest on physical, mental, and emotional well-being. If you're someone who struggles to relax, this episode is for you.
