The Power of Patience
How to Slow the Rush and Enjoy More Happiness, Success and Peace of Mind Every Day
By M.J. Ryan
From the internationally bestselling author and co-creator of the Random
Acts of Kindness movement comes a unique and timely guide to an old-fashioned
virtue we need now more than ever.
These days we work harder and play less. We expect everything to happen
instantly and become aggravated when it doesn’t: the computer that
takes too long to boot up, endless queues, meetings that run on forever.
The result is that we often feel stressed, overworked and unhappy. The
time for patience has come.
M. J. Ryan shows how patience can help us siow the rush and bring more
light and love into our lives. It’s not enough just to try to be
more patient.
Full of inspiring stories and the wisdom of those who have been there
before, The Power of Patience reveals the secrets to reclaiming this forgotten
virtue and shows how doing so will help you feel better about yourself
every day.
