A Life of Being, Having, and Doing Enough by Wayne Muller


Book release date: April 13, 2010

Genre: spirituality, health, mind, body


"This is a soul-sized book for sure. We are so busy pursuing too many goals and straining ourselves to death in the process. We are ‘catching up’ forever, doing-doing-doing all the time, stressed out and pushing ourselves to achieve and acquire in order to fill the emptiness in our souls.  Wayne Muller counsels us to slow down, to accept ourselves and our limits,  to enjoy just being the creatures we are in this universe. He teaches us to say  ‘enough’ in a raging world of ceaseless activity, of self-imposed 24/7 tiredness. Reading this book is healthy - it will quiet the restless heart and encourage a thankful simplicity that brings peace to the soul."
—STEPHEN POST, author of Why Good Things Happen to Good People

We have forgotten what enough feels like.

As the pace of life quickens and the economic crisis deepens, people feel overwhelmed, unhappy, and afraid. Many are losing jobs, health, and vitality. We feel ourselves drowning under the impossible multiplication of activities, responsibilities, deadlines and requirements – and we all but abandon the pursuit of happiness and peace. How do we know when what we offer, whatever we are able to give in this moment, for this day — who we are and what we do, is enough?

In his bold new book, Wayne Muller – mentor, philanthropist, community organizer, minister and bestselling author – author of Sabbath and Legacy of the Heart, a bold new book that calls for the reclamation of an unhurried, deeply sufficient life rigorously challenges how our culture relentlessly pushes us to strive for more, to be bigger, better, faster, more useful. Because, he insists, this same culture absolutely fails to fulfil its promise: to supposedly reward us with a life of comfort, peace and ease that will never, ever come.
