This little book packs a big punch. I start off every morning with this book. I believe it makes a me a little wiser everyday. It really makes you think about a lot of things we usually do not think about. Buy this book. It is a small price to pay for a lot of wisdom.

This is a wonderful book which I purchased as a gift. People enjoy these powerful daily reflections that are thought provoking and inspiring. They point to the awesomeness of God and use short proverbs from around the world that undergird the author's point. Each also contains a prescription for improving our daily lives. Not the usual how-to book.

An extemely stimulaing, insightful book that is in an easy-to-read format. Its call for balance and simplicity in life in this hectic, 21st century world is pertinent and practical. Written by a medical doctor, it includes a daily prescription for applicaion of truth.

This is one of those books that you won't want to put down. Dr. Swenson challenges you to think deeply about the true issues of life. And, after reflecting on what really matters in life, you will be left with no better alternative than to slow down and enjoy life and your loved ones. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is "too busy." It is a simple read and is broken down into two-page reflections, which take (surprisingly!) about a minute to read. Enjoy.

Outstanding book. Short but profound daily thoughts that help keep life and priorities on track. Outstanding gift to business colleagues, family and friends.

I am a mom of two elementary school children. I heard that this was a great book to help with people who take on too much. After reading a few pages, I was hooked. It is a great resource to help you meditate on the priorities in your life. My husband has picked it up, too and really enjoys it! It is definitely a keeper and I would recommend it to anyone.

A great read and great gift for anyone you know that is overworked and has no time... Spiritual foundation provides opportunity to open doors as a good "pass around" or gift book.

In his other books, Margin and The Overload Syndrome, Richard Swenson, MD, has written masterfully on the causes, symptoms and treatment of the overload epidemic raging among the vast majority of North Americans, who chronically exceed their God-given limits.

In this volume Dr. Swenson matches his medicine to the ailment in 180 short daily readings--a dosage well-suited to the busiest of lives.

This consistent prescription squarely addresses the ailments of overload, guiding and strengthening readers to aggressively combat the poisons of our culture rather than passively succumbing to them. A must read!

From his thoughts on the sovereignty of God in "More Than Meets the Eye," to the very practical and personal prescriptions for reducing stress and building some breathing room into our days in "Margin" and "Overload," to his assertions of overload gone global in "Hurtling Toward Oblivion", Dr. Swenson has compiled the best of the best for the reader to digest one day at a time. You'll find this book approachable and insightful, and it's author a gentle and exemplary Christian man using his remarkable mind to help us all gain more time for the things that matter, develop peace of mind in a world gone nuts, and ultimately, to "seek authenticity at the highest level."
