The Rhythm of Life: Living Every Day with Passion and Purpose in Bloomington, MN

Once in a while, perhaps every ten years or so, a book comes along that perfectly defines the problems of an age and provides appropriate solutions to those problems. This is that book. Beginning with his own remarkable story of how his rise as an internationally renowned speaker and author became a roller-coaster ride, and ultimately a personal crisis, Matthew Kelly sets the stage to examine the lifestyle issues that characterize our age.
In short, Kelly reminds us with an unmatched clarity of one simple truth -- we are too busy. From there, he takes us on a journey deep within ourselves to discover why we cling to hectic schedules, why we avoid silence, and how we can create a lifestyle that alleviates the restlessness which plagues our hearts. "Our chaotic world and complex lives are crying out for a little order and simplicity."
In The Rhythm of Life, Kelly outlines simple steps and everyday actions that create a way of life -- a lifestyle -- which is more conducive to the well-being of the whole person: physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Using stories, examples, and anecdotes to captivate our attention, Kelly's writing style parallels his inimitable speaking style, and through the power of the written word he is able to further highlight and emphasize his ideas. The truth of these ideas is self-evident and can be validated by your own experience of life in our modern world.
