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 is 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. Easwaran shows that the key to finding peace isn't necessarily changing how we work or what we do, but how we think. ''We may not realize it,'' he writes, '' but it is the mind, not external events, that drives our constant sense of urgency and restlessness.'' When we're tired, we need a book we'll enjoy. Easwaran is a master storyteller, and Take Your Time has many entertaining, all-too-recognizable everyday anecdotes to make us smile as we read his insights.
