Overview
Navigate your toughest challenges with timeless wisdom and practical guidance for persevering through life's struggles—now updated with new insights for facing today's unprecedented pressures.
When you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or ready to give up—you need practical wisdom that addresses what you're actually experiencing, not hollow motivational slogans. This beautifully illustrated second edition of Margaret Wheatley's bestselling guide gives you practical tools to persevere through challenges at work, at home, in your community, and within yourself—with a new introduction for using this book individually or in groups.
Through concise, compassionate essays, Wheatley addresses the moments when you feel lost, betrayed, or exhausted—and helps you recognize the rewarding times when you've made a small difference. She names the behaviors and dynamics—fearlessness, guilt, joy, jealousy—that either support or impede your efforts, putting each in a broader human and timeless perspective. The self-contained essays let you thumb through and find what speaks to you right now.
Complemented by poems and quotations from traditions and cultures throughout history, this book grounds you spiritually while providing practical perspective. As the Hopi elders remind us: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.”
