60 Mindful Minutes


May 31, 2022

 

When we can take a step back from our culture of constant motion and self-improvement, we may start to see the power in slowing down and making room for stillness in our lives. In her new book, Don’t Just Sit There, Do Nothing, author Jessie Asya Kanzer shares her experience of using the Tao Te Ching to ground her life in intuition, and insight. The result is practical actionable insights on incorporating simple wisdom into the everyday living of life.
