Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way

Новое букинистическое издание. In these pages, New York Times bestselling author Shona Nyquist invites you to consider the landscape of your own life and what it might look like to leave behind the pressure to be perfect and begin the life-changing practice of simply being present, in the midst of the clutter and ordinariness of life. As she says: "A few years ago I found myself exhausted and isolated, my soul and body are sick. I'm tired of being tired, burned out on a busy day. And it seemed that almost everyone I talked to was in the same boat: longing for connection, meaning, depth, but content with being busy. "I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, neighbor, writer, and I know this soothing feeling all too well. But over the past few years, I have learned to live a life marked by grace, love, rest and play. And that changes everything. "Present Over Perfect is an invitation to this journey that has changed my life. I will walk this path with you, the path from the insane push and proof, and to your essential self, the one you were created by before you started proving and earning for your value. "Written in Shona's warm and vulnerable style, this collection of essays focuses on the most important transformation in her life, and perhaps yours as well: leaving behind the busy and crazy life and rediscovering the person you were created to be. Present Over Perfect is a hand reaching out, freeing you from the constant pressure to work faster, push harder and produce more while maintaining a grueling image of perfection. Shauna offers an honest account of what led her to start this journey, and a convincing vision of a completely new way of life: imbued with grace, rest, silence, simplicity, prayer and connection with the people who are most important to us. На этих страницах автор бестселлеров New York Times Шона Никвист предлагает вам рассмотреть ландшафт вашей собственной жизни и то, как это может выглядеть, чтобы оставить позади давление, чтобы быть совершенным и начать изменяющую жизнь практику простого присутствия, посреди беспорядка и обыденности жизни. Как она говорит: «Несколько лет назад я обнаружила себя истощенной и изолированной, моя душа и тело больны. Я устал от усталости, выгорел на занятом. И, казалось, почти все, с кем я разговаривал, были в одной лодке: тоска по связи, смыслу, глубине, но довольствовались занятостью. «Я жена, мать, дочь, сестра, друг, соседка, писательница, и я слишком хорошо знаю это успокаивающее чувство.
