| Do you ever feel that if you weren't so busy you would be healthier, happier, more effective, more fulfilled… and maybe even a better person?
In The Rhythm of Life Matthew Kelly exposes the lifestyle challenges and problems that face us in this age obsessed with noise, speed, and perpetual activity. In response, he proposes a lifestyle that promotes genuine well-being by attending to our legitimate needs - physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
From amidst an age inordinately preoccupied with doing and having, Kelly's message rings out with a truth that is challenging and unmistakably attractive - "Who you become is infinitely more important than what you do, or what you have." Are you ready to meet the-best-version-of-yourself?
The Rhythm of Life is a brilliant and clear-eyed rejection of the chaotic lifestyle that has captured the world, written with common sense, humor, and extraordinary insight. Victor Hugo once wrote, "There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come." In the present culture, The Rhythm of Life is that idea. This is a book that is destined to change lives!
Once every twenty-five years or so, a book comes along that perfectly identifies our common search and struggle for happiness, and using powerful stories and practical examples teaches us how to find lasting happiness in a changing world. This is that book. Not since M. Scott Peck published The Road Less Traveled have we experienced a voice as refreshing and authentic as Matthew Kelly.
Kelly has a way of thinking and writing that cuts through the stifling clutter of our everyday lives and delivers a clarity that is both refreshing and liberating. Here are just a few of the timeless creeds that he introduces in The Rhythm of Life...
