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.

“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 . . . I absolutely loved it.”

- Stephen Covey
