Do you spend your day living a life that works for you? That brings you meaning and fulfillment? Too many of us live our lives depleted, exhausted, and humorless. We’re paddling as hard as we can, yet we’re still falling a little short.

Bennett stresses that there isn’t a right way to do anything, there’s just your way. Nothing is unachievable or unchangeable. Listen to the few simple practices you can do in your everyday life that will encourage you to live more authentically, fully, and infused with passion.
