Statistics donÕt lie. People today are more fatigued, burned out, and overwhelmed than ever. Smartphones constantly ping and alert and demand our attention. And social media can eat up hours of our days with mindless scrolling and tapping while leaving many feeling empty and lonely. Add to that family commitments, work that is accessible around the clock, and overscheduling, and you have a life that can feel unmanageable and frantic . . . even running on empty.Emily Ley, author of bestselling Grace, Not Perfection and A Simplified Life, is here to tell you that thereÕs moreÑso much more. In this book, Emily Ley takes readers on a journey out of that empty place and shows them how to fill their wells with the nourishment that only true connection can provide. She also presents some radical concepts that push against the tethers of modern life, with the promise that more of the good stuff comes when we say yes to less of what keeps us empty:Less rush, more rhythmLess great, more goodLess fake, more realLess noise, more singingLess outside world, more inside familyLess correction, more conversationLess talking at, more dreaming withLess stuff, more treasuresLess chasing, more cherishingLess activities, more traditionsGetting to more might require some outside-the-box changes, some unraveling of the patterns readers have adopted, some reworking of the day-to-day so that they can build a life based on their core values instead of slipping into a life dictated by society or whatÕs Ònormal.Ó Because we weren't made for normal. We were made for moreÑfor a life of fullness, dreaming, and lasting joy.
