EVERYDAYNESS

“Most of us don’t take the time to contemplate how meaningful our lives are. We’re too busy. Everydayness inspires a blueprint for moment-by-moment gratitude, for conscious quality of every waking hour. If we all agree that life is terribly short, this book gives some relief to that pressure. It offers a path to conscious meaning and joy on a daily basis. If you’re seeking to define and connect with the values you cherish, consider Everydayness your crucial guide.”
