Being with Busyness

Praise

“In a world where 24 hours are never enough, to-do lists never end, and pain points never diminish, this delicious book offers a much needed and profound respite for heart and mind.”
—Christiana Figueres, coauthor of The Future We Choose and founding partner of Global Optimism 

“It feels especially hard to switch off as an activist when there’s a never-ending tide of problems to solve. Yet the mindfulness teachings of Plum Village have helped me find stillness. Practicing mindfulness has brought me back from the brink of burnout, and helped me to rediscover the joy in my work. I am especially indebted to Brother Phap Huu and Jo Confino, who are gifted teachers and communicators. Their podcast has transformed countless lives, and so will this book. If your first thought is ‘I’m too busy to read this,’ then this is precisely the book for you!”
—Clover Hogan, climate activist and founder of Force of Nature
