The Pleasure Prescription: Joy, Rest & the Radical Art of Doing Nothing.

The wellness book that tells you to do less.

The Pleasure Prescription is a joyful, science-backed argument for pleasure as a legitimate health strategy — covering the neuroscience of joy, the biology of rest, the measurable health benefits of friendship and play, and the very real, well-documented damage that chronic busyness does to the female body and brain after 40.

This is not a self-help book about productivity or optimisation. It is a beautifully argued, evidence-backed case for rest, for enjoyment, for the radical act of prioritising your own pleasure — and the science that proves your body genuinely needs it.

Your overworked nervous system has been waiting for this book.
