I am quite the fan of Professor Randolph Nesse’s theory of depression. Nesse and his colleagues speculate that depression could act as a biological constraint system that helps to minimise wasted effort and loss by forcing the individual to slow down, reassess, and potentially change strategies.”
I don’t recommend you seek to be depressed.
But to have Deep Rest™️—I think many of us could do with that!
