Kimberly Farr has a practical style for this topic. Her focus and clear presentation allow the author's life lessons to flow effortlessly. She recounts various steps that the author believes can slow one's pace and simplify chaotic life choices. Small changes, Susanka says, can result in big personal rewards.
