About this author
“I’m so busy!” has replaced “Fine, How are you?” as the most common way people respond to the question “How are you?” Everyone bemoans their frantic schedules, their lack of time to relax, or even complete a thought.

| I picked this up in the airport, having heard nothing about it (where have I been?!). It is, as promised, compelling and surprising, with passages of such deep beauty you want to write them out and carry them around... | |

| This book is so interesting, and artfully written. It's essential premise is that happiness in life is determined less by what we have or do, than by what we attend...what we focus on. | |

"As parents we carry the blueprints, the dreams of what our family could be. The plans change, the whole thing goes way over budget, there are unexpected additions, and the work never ends. Still, through the messiness of construction we see each other with such depth and hope. Our five year-old boy is still so clearly the baby he once was and sometimes—can you see it?—the young man he will one day be. We draw energy and inspiration from our dreams; our simple, common motivations. --SIMPLICITY PARENTING"
