John Eldredge, the New York Times best-selling author, offers a practical and deceptively simple model for taking back full control of your life.

We live in soul-scorching times. The 24/7 onslaught of contemporary life—with its unending stream of global tragedies and demanding claims on our attention, to say nothing of the ordinary pressures of work, family, friends, and community—have left us tattered, overburdened, and empty. But if we no longer have margin in our lives, how do we find space to change things?

In his transformative new book, John Eldredge distills a lifetime of wisdom about healing into a series of practical, ready-to-implement habits for reclaiming your life. These simple steps will allow you to begin recovery, help you focus on what matters most, disengage from the tragedies of this broken world, and discover the restorative power of beauty. Habits include:

the one-minute pause,
benevolent detachment,
practicing kindness,
getting outside, and
pushing back on technology.
