Summary:
"Now more than ever, people are seeking a reprieve from the constant pressure to achieve, produce, and consume. While many turn to sporadic bouts of mindfulness and meditation, Marilyn Paul offers a complementary solution that is as radical as it is ancient. She focuses on the profound benefits of taking a modern-day Sabbath each week for deep
rest
and nourishing renewal. The energy, perspective, creativity, sense of well-being, and yes, increased productivity that ensue are lifesaving. Drawing on Sabbath tradition, contemporary research, and interviews with scores of busy people, Paul shows that it is possible to introduce these practices regardless of your
religious
beliefs. Starting with just an hour or two, you can carve out the time from your packed schedule, design your weekly oasis experience, and most importantly, change your mind-set so you can enjoy the pleasure of regularly slowing down and savoring life every week. Implement strategies for connecting with friends and family, self, and source, and discover practical ways to step off the treadmill and into timeless refreshment on your way to a calmer, richer, more fulfilling life. Marilyn Paul is the author of It's Hard to Make a Difference When You Can't Find Your Keys: the seven step path to becoming truly organized"--Provided by publisher.
