The Violence of Being Busy: Reclaiming Peace in a Culture of Overwork In a world where being “busy” is worn as a badge of honor, we rarely pause to ask: At what cost? In The Violence of Being Busy, Vincent Froom exposes the harsh reality of how our obsession with productivity shapes modern life—causing stress, burnout, and broken relationships. Drawing on personal stories, historical insights, and spiritual wisdom, Froom reveals that busyness is more than just a personal issue; it’s a systemic problem that impacts every aspect of our lives. But this book is more than a critique; it’s an invitation to change. Through practical strategies, thoughtful reflections, and real-life examples, Froom empowers readers to challenge the status quo, embrace intentional living, and rediscover the sacredness of rest. If you’re tired of the constant grind and longing for a life of balance, purpose, and inner peace, this book offers a way forward—one that’s rooted not in doing more, but in being more present. The Violence of Being Busy is a bold call to reclaim your time, your relationships, and your life from a culture that values doing over being. It’s time to let go of the pressure and embrace a new rhythm—one of peace, rest, and true fulfillment.
