Curiously practical—this no-nonsense blend of literary biography and self-help unravels how interesting life can be if only you could resist the impulse to rush through the mundane rituals of modern life. Every morning, Marcel Proust sipped his two cups of strong coffee with milk, ate a croissant from one boulangerie, dunking it in his coffee as he slowly read the day’s paper with great care—poring over each headline and section. Only Alain de Botton could have pulled so many useful insights from the oeuvre of one the world’s greatest literary masters. Fascinating and vital, How to Take Your Time will urge you to find the wisdom in defying “the self-satisfaction felt by ‘busy’ men—however idiotic their business—at ‘not having time’ to do what you are doing.” A Vintage Shorts Wellness selection. An ebook short.

She was a wretched abandoned rich wife, and he was the proud old diamond king. She pissed him off, he. He had nearly crippled her. He saved her, she. Yet she was treated as a slut. Love seemed to be a duel between two people who were at odds with each other in everything. After all the conspiracies, he had helped her clear all obstacles and rise again. Only in the end did he understand that love was best known for its calm after the dust had settled.
Life today can feel so fragmented. Often we face enormous pressures both on the work front and at home. Irritable and drained at the end of a long day, we wonder what it is all about. But if we look at our choices through Easwaran's eyes, it's surprising how quickly we begin to discover patience, peace, and meaning. Easwaran shows that the key to finding peace isn't necessarily changing how we work or what we do, but how we think. ''We may not realize it,'' he writes, '' but it is the mind, not external events, that drives our constant sense of urgency and restlessness.'' When we're tired, we need a book we'll enjoy. Easwaran is a master storyteller, and Take Your Time has many entertaining, all-too-recognizable everyday anecdotes to make us smile as we read his insights.

For Delilah Sinclair, catching a man's attention has never been a problem. It's the part that comes later – the happily-ever-after part – that always seems to trip her up. Not that she cares. (Much.) All her friends may be settling down, but this fiery redhead quite likes her carefree — commitment-free — life. At least, she did… until everything began to fall apart. With family drama spiraling dangerously out of control, for the first time Delilah finds herself in need of a protector. Thankfully, Luca "Blaze" Buchanan — the best MMA fighter in Boston history — is more than willing to step into that role. Luca is more savage than knight-in-shining-armor. Certainly not the marrying kind. But in the midst of sudden danger, he’s exactly what Lila needs to survive. And as their slow-burning attraction sparks into something far hotter… there’s only one question left to ask herself. Now that she’s had a glimpse at a future with Luca… why does her old life feel so unbearably hollow? And why can’t this notorious commitment-phobe fathom ever letting him walk away from her? TAKE YOUR TIME is a comedic contemporary romance about a girl determined not to settle… and the alpha who tears her careful plans into pieces. It is the fourth installment of the internationally bestselling BOSTON LOVE STORY series and can be read as a complete standalone. Due to sexy scenes, a sassy, red-headed heroine, and a bossy, unbearably sexy hero, it is recommended for readers ages 17 and up.
