TIME ANXIETY The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live

With previous books on entrepreneurship and travel behind him, author Chris Guillebeau now offers this eye-opening guide to taking the stress out of managing our time. He makes his case with multiple examples of how we needlessly put pressure on ourselves--with oppressive deadlines, indecision about priorities, and constant worry about how to make our lives meaningful. He's a smooth and utterly charming narrator whose vocal quality and natural pitch patterns make his delivery sound beautiful. His tone conveys altruistic aims, as well as an artist's wonder at the many ways we can magnify or diminish the pressure we feel to get things done. He's especially persuasive with his advice on mental preparation, the prioritizing and planning that make doing what's important an automatic, satisfying process. T.W.
