Book Review - Repacking Your Bags by Richard J Leider/David A Shapiro
Lighten
Your Load for the Rest of Your Life
Most
of us rarely take stock of our lives, unless there is a major crisis. The dawn
of New Year also presents an opportunity for us to look at the old baggage we
carry. How to lighten your load for the rest of your life?
There never seems to be enough time. We have less
for ourselves and far less for each other. We are impatient with people who are
reflective or who talk too slowly. We drive fast, make love fast, and expect
our McDonald's hamburger in 15 seconds. We are more organised but less
spontaneous, less alive. We are better prepared for the future but less able to
enjoy the present. We are always going somewhere, never being anywhere.
This isn't a book for people who believe that lightening their load
means they have to sell all their possessions and move to the woods or an
ashram in India! It's for people involved in the day-to-day struggle of
juggling work, home, and relationship demands in a manner that enables them to
make ends meet while burning the candle at both the ends.
Don't wait for your heart attack to read this book !
