Take Your Time is the book chosen to accompany the Center for Spiritual Living Santa Rosa theme for March 2012
LIFE TODAY can feel so fragmented! Often we face enormous pressures both on the work front and at home. Irritable and drained at the end of a long day, we wonder what it was all about. But if we look at our choices through Easwaran's eyes, it's surprising how quickly we begin to discover patience, peace, and meaning. In Take Your Time, Easwaran shows us through his timeless stories that we could try something different next time we're feeling stressed. We could use his techniques to:
Slow down inwardly, even if we have a lot to do
Stay calmer, more patient, more loving with all around us
Improve concentration - do one thing at a time and do it well
Keep our attention in the present so we don't waste energy on worry and resentment
Simplify our lives and avoid trying to do too much
Get a sense of life's true purpose
Step back, slow down, and find a doorway to joy and serenity where you might never have thought to look. "This beautiful little book captures the very essence of what our frantic, stressful lives could become if only we would simply take the time to slow down. Eknath Easwaran once again offers simple words of wisdom for a complicated world. I absolutely loved it."
-- Stephen Covey Author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 8th Habit
"I have long found the writings of Eknath Easwaran to be models of clarity, simplicity, and practicality. Take Your Time gives very straightforward advice for remaining centered in a frantic world. I recommend it."
-- Andrew Weil, M.D. Author of Natural Health, Natural Medicine and Healthy Aging
