When Less Becomes More - Making Space For Slow, Simple, And Good (Hardcover)

Statistics don't 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 over scheduling, and you have a life that can feel
unmanageable and frantic . . . even running on empty.

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 rhythm
• Less great, more good
• Less fake, more real
• Less noise, more singing
• Less outside world, more inside family
• Less correction, more conversation
• Less talking at, more dreaming with
• Less stuff, more treasures
• Less chasing, more cherishing
• Less activities, more traditions
  

Getting 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 what's "normal." Because we weren't made for normal. We were made for more -
for a life of fullness, dreaming, and lasting joy.
