A week you can actually live

I used to think a better life was a bigger project. A new town. A new job. A new version of me that finally had it together. Meanwhile the coffee was getting cold and I was missing the walk.

Life in a Week began as a kitchen-table conversation: notice what is already here, learn one new thing, write one true sentence, laugh on purpose, eat without the phone, do five minutes of kindness that nobody claps for. The second edition is the one I still sign. The first edition — What is Spirituality? — is sold out.

There is a free seven-day tracker on this site if you want to try the week before you buy the book. Check the boxes. Do not turn it into a productivity contest. The point is to be in the room you are already in.

I am in Sonora, Kentucky, these days, slowing down on purpose with Jonathan, Jack, and Amariah. The books were written in the years of hustle. The practice is for the years after.
