Book Synopsis

This book is for anyone who yearns for relief from the pressure of overload.

Margin is the space that once existed between ourselves and our limits. Today, most of our lives are marginless as we battle overwhelm, burnout, and hurry. But there is a path to the life of balance and peace we crave.

Reevaluate your priorities, determine the value of rest and simplicity in your life, and see where your identity really comes from. The benefits can be good health, financial stability, fulfilling relationships, and availability for God's purpose.

Dr. Richard Swenson, physician-researcher and bestselling author, shares seventy-five practical stress management prescriptions to help you:

• Develop emotional resilience and restore contentment in the face of stress
• Cull what's causing anxiety and sapping your energy
• Create a life centered around what's truly important instead of being directed by modern culture

Experience the joy and freedom that comes from living with margin--as God intended.
