Its about memory of the past, hope and fear for the future, and how they color, for better and for worse, ones experience of the present. Ultimately, its a book about freedom--freedom from despair of the clock, of the aging body, of the seeming waste of ones daily routine, the freedom that comes with acceptance and appreciation of the human dimensions of time and of the place of each passing moment on lifes bounteous continuum. For Robert Grudin, living is an art, and cultivating a creative partnership with time is one of the keys to mastering it. In a series of wise, witty, and playful meditations, he suggests that happiness lies not in the effort to conquer time but rather in learning \"to bend to its curve,\" in hearing its music and learning to dance to it. Grudin offers practical advice and mental exercises designed to help the reader use time more effectively, but this is no ordinary self-help book. It is instead a kind of wisdom literature, a guide to life, a feast for the mind and for the spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539265421600,"sku":"NEW0395898315","price":52.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71jAq-W-LNL.jpg?v=1777488766","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/time-and-the-art-of-living-0395898315","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
