I didn't hate this book, but I didn't feel like I learned anything.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I loved all of Jess Connolly's previous books and I love this one too! She is an amazing author, and her book is equal parts practical and preaching. Highly recommend.

A gentle pep talk for those feeling the weight of the world. An exploration of the whys, hows and what’s of feeling just plain tired. Really appreciated the insight from women in various life stages and cultures, sprinkled throughout the book. Great perspective and a solid recommendation.

I loved this book by Jess Connolly. She writes from experience and she writes a message that is so relevant to women today. The information on the different types of rest was so interesting, and the practical tips to experience real rest life changing. I appreciated the real examples from Jess's life and the other women included, it made it feel real and relatable.

Thank you to the Author, Publisher and NetGalley UK for a free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

We are a society that is running on fumes. Everywhere I go, I'm encountering people, especially women who are doing their best but often only able to give so much to everything that is calling for our attention. It can be hard to find time to rest, but Jess does a great job of identifying the different kinds of rest we need, and also giving practical ways for us to find that rest.

I have spent way too many years of my life being tired. As someone who grew up with a “work first, rest last” approach to life, I have been very humbled by the realization that I am now fighting burnout because I never learned to rest well! I enjoyed Jess Connolly discussion on why we live like this and how we can choose a different way. I will read this book again and have already shared with other who I know fight the busyness trap that is so common.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read this ARC.

This is THE book on rest. Jess does such a great job of educating the reader on the different types of tired AND offering practical ways to rest. I've been sharing about this with anyone who will listen. The real life stories from other women and Jess' vulnerability and transparency on this topic make the idea of rest so real and tangible.

Talk about a book and a message so very many of us need! Tired of Being Tired covers physical exhaustion, spiritual exhaustion, mental exhaustion, and emotional exhaustion. I appreciated how Jess, with clear intentionality, offered not only her own stories but very practical and realistic ways real women can find rest for their souls!

ARC READ THROUGH NETGALLEY.I did like this book, but I also felt like I didn’t really get anything out of it. To me, it kind of felt like she said things I already knew. However, that being said, I know that as a single teacher, I have a lot less going on than a married mother of three who works for a church plant and also writes books and hosts a podcasts. I have a lot less going on than most people, let’s be honest, so my rate of tiredness is less, especially right now. Maybe I should reread in the heat of the school year and see if my thoughts change.

This book was a breath of fresh air. Jess definitely knows how to write a good book. Rest is something we can all benefit from daily. Not only does Jess teach you how to rest but she teaches you what rest is not. Out of all the books on rest this one is different because she incorporates the gospel. You need this book.

I really enjoyed this book! Jess has just so much wisdom to share and I feel like this is a book that everyone needs to read right now as everyone is tired, but we don't realize what's causing it. There we're so many practical take aways as well! This will be a book I continue to come back to.

Tired of Being Tired by Jess Connolly is an amazing book. While designed especially for women, both men and women would benefit from this book. God’s word clearly calls us to rest. Ms Connolly’s book is the story of her journey towards rest. This book is a beacon of hope to tired women everywhere. I highly recommend it. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own. I also purchased a copy myself.

We live in an overstimulated, overbusy, overstressed, overemotional culture. We don’t know how to say “no.” We don’t know how to process emotions. We don’t know how to decompress. And through it all, we are physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally tired.

Aren’t you tired of being tired? I know I am. This book right here has been a practical tool for me. Jess Connolly has given ways we can find the rest that God wants for us. As I continue down my own journey of whole-self health, I know that rest is part of it, and I have to be more intentional about it.

This is a fantastic book, and one that you should read! It challenged me and encouraged me, and I hope it can do the same for you.

Jess’s book helps women identify specific areas where they are tired. Women everywhere are tired and burnt out, and can’t slow down. Being busy is glorified. But it doesn’t need to be this way!

The first third of the book was super refreshing and encouraging for me. It helped me recognize which areas specifically where I am tired and need to slow down and find soul rest. The second third of the book is dragged a bit and I felt I had to force myself to read. The last third was full of practical ways to apply and identify which type of exhaustion is affecting you. All in all, I got lots of little takeaways from this book and will refer back to it in seasons of exhaustion!

As a full time working mom, I’ve hit a busy season and have felt extremely tired. Jess Connolly describes the signs and symptoms of feeling mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally tired and burnt out. She shows us some attainable ways to help prevent fatigue by developing rhythms instead of schedules. In this book, we are able to honestly look deep into our hearts/souls, our relationship with God, and our lifestyles. In doing so, we find ways to help fight the urge our culture has for us to not rest. I encourage anyone who is feeling tired, burnt out, or fatigued to read this book.

This book (!!!) is the necessary, honest, and tangibly helpful guide to leaning into real, holy rest and recovering from the weariness and exhaustion the world offers. Jess writes with such humility, vulnerability, and biblical wisdom, and she offers encouragement and conviction without shame about our true need for rest. I felt so seen reading this book, and I am confident that the practical advice—coupled with the holy truth—offered in Tired of Being Tired will bring refreshment to anyone who reads it!

So good! This is sadly incredibly relevant for today's world. It is an incredibly important work that should get attention and shed light on a very needed perspective. Truly should be required reading for all women, and really, for people in general. I'm so glad to have the opportunity to read this book.

The thing I love about Jess Connolly is how she puts everything into everything she does. She is all in — Team No Chill for Jesus! She doesn’t do this work for accolades but because she truly believes in the message she’s sharing. She’s living it. She is always learning and growing. She’s mission-minded. And she’s excited about it. Tired of Being Tired is such a good book, an important book. I love how Jess explains the different types of fatigue (spiritual, physical, emotional, mental) and gives practical tips to overcome each type. This book also made me think about eternity in a way I never have before! I can’t stop telling people about this book and have already purchased additional copies to give away.

I’m so thankful to have gotten an advanced copy of this book. Guys, Jess always hits a home run and hits me right where I need it. This book is no exception. My copy is filled with highlights. Jess is real and down to earth and she doesn’t speak things she doesn’t mean. Reading her books is just like sitting down with her for a chat. This book is validating. It’s raw and real. And I guarantee you’ll get something out of it. Five stars.
