I knew going into this year that I was going to spend a good amount of time reflecting on what I want out of life and what may be next. Several people around me had read NRT & couldn't stop talking about it; spoiler alert: it lives up to the hype. One of my favorite things is Freeman provides examples from her life to illustrate the core concepts and practices she discusses.

Book for people like me who get overhelmed with decisions and for whom pro/con lists do not work. Through the lens of Christianity.

I enjoyed this book for its simplicity, practicality, and grace, even as it addressed making decisions that often don't feel simple at all. Its a book I feel I may come back to in different seasons.

Good guide for decision making when you feel like every decision has to be perfect and you're always thinking 10 steps ahead. Liked the practices in each chapter. Would have liked more real life examples. I did not realize this was so religious when I picked it up. Here are some favorite quotes or practices.
"Stay in today...practice stopping on purpose....You can only be one place at a time."
"Pay attention... Get still. Stop talking. Pause the constant questioning..."
"Become a soul minimalist." "Stillness is to my soul as decluttering is you my home."
"Pick what you like, then see how it grows."
"We're not gonna give her words"
