Take Your Time

Every day we are confronted with constant pressures to do more, keep moving and increase our pace. But where does this lead us? Often down a path where our lives feel out of control, so that our heartfelt goals and values are lost in the shuffle. But it doesn't have to be that way. In Take Your Time, Eknath Easwaran offers a concrete approach to dealing with the pressures to hurry in our lives.

With gentle wisdom and practical advice he shows how to slow down the pace of our day without sacrificing efficiency; improve, deepen, and heal relationships; make deliberate and intentional choices; and focus our scattered attentions. The first step in living intentionally is to slow down the mind, says Easwaran, and here are easy-to-follow, realistic tools for doing just that -- tools which, used regularly, can help us find that point of balance in our lives where we are the most focused, efficient, and loving.
