Today’s epidemic of busyness is not new, but the question of what to do about it has become more urgent than ever. Written for a general audience, but perhaps of particular interest to Jews who have not yet made Shabbat practice a regular part of their lives, An Oasis in Time draws on Shabbat wisdom to show readers how to have weekly rest, renewal, and connection. You can start creating your oasis in time through small steps and short periods of time.
An Oasis in Time shows you the practical steps of how to design your weekly time off, carve out the time from your busy schedule, say no — even when it’s hard — and most importantly, change your mindset so you can have the pleasure of regularly slowing down every week. From spending meaningful time in nature to creating a special, calming environment, Paul provides real strategies for stepping away from the computer and creating a rhythm of life that includes a substantial respite each week with loved ones as well as restorative time alone when needed.
