As a Matter of Course
Annie Payson Call was a mental health writer before her time, dispensing straight forward wisdom and common sense, free of the modern day psycho-babble. In addition to all the body, mind and spirit reasons for getting enough rest, she also gives us some very practical excercises to achieve that goal. As any modern day person will understand, turning off your brain, and actually relaxing is easier said than done! But Power Through Repose not only delivers a thoughtful treatise on the value of taking it easy, it delivers the means to do so.

In the beginning I found APC's writing too simple, almost banal - I guess I was looking at her from an ironic perspective ... (A flaw of being trained in the -90's)
But as I continued reading I discovered so much more.
As I am currently reading several books on buddhism & mindfulness it didn't take long to discover similar ideas in APC's writing.
No wonder Henry James liked her so well.
