A More Beautiful Way to Live: Nine Practices to Unlearn Habits of Anxiety, Fear, and Urgency

What if you could move through life with more presence, attentiveness, and connection--without the constant pressure to do more, achieve more, and fix what's broken around you?

Many of us feel exhausted and anxious, but slowing down is possible with the right guide. In A More Beautiful Way to Live, spiritual director and recovering overachiever Bethaney B. Wilkinson offers a framework for reclaiming presence, rootedness, and rest. Weaving together rich storytelling and wisdom inspired by nature, she shares nine contemplative practices intended to help you

● cultivate rhythms of rest, healing, and deep connection; 
● embrace a slower, gentler, and more life-giving pace;
● unlearn habits of anxiety, fear, and urgency; and
● show up wholeheartedly for what matters most to you.

With a foreword by Kaitlin B. Curtice, this book is an invitation to those longing for a slower, deeper, and more meaningful way to live.
