What Matters Now: Lessons on Living with Ease

Busy. Hurried. Harried. Pulled in a million directions. No matter who you are, you can probably relate to these words and phrases in some capacity. The pace of our modern world is so frantic and frenzied that for many people, being overwhelmed is simply par for the course.

In What Matters Now, Gail Jacob Barker shatters myths about the nature of life and invites readers to find a new, less stressful way to live. No matter the challenge, no matter the dilemma, no matter the era, Barker suggests that there is a simple paradigm that takes away a sense of burden and replaces it with a sense of ease. Using her own life experiences as a guide, she provides concrete, easy-to-implement strategies and ideas for filtering through the complexities and challenges of life-no matter what you're facing.

Gail Jacob Barker is a professional life and leadership coach, inspirational speaker, and published author. Since launching her own company, Stellar Coaching & Consulting, in 2003, Gail finds herself regularly working with leaders who are ready to elevate their leadership game in the most meaningful of ways.

Being surrounded by good books, good folks, and good food-these are the things that matter to Gail, although not necessarily in that order. When all else fails, a walk along the beach will revive her soul like nothing else. Gail lives in Strathroy, Ontario, with her husband, her children, and their dog.
