For most of my life I have felt the pull of two influences. On one side there is the learning, performing, accomplishing influence that urges me to turn everything into a project and complete as much work as I possibly can.

I think there is a time and a place for both.

That’s what this book is about: simplifying, loving, existing, living in the present and seeing with new eyes.
