We're too tired to think, too wired to focus, less efficient than we want to be, and guilty about not getting enough time with our loved ones. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe all know that we feel starved for time, but what are we actually doing about it? Precious little. In \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Stopping Time, New York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author Pedram Shojai guides us towards success with what he calls \u003ci\u003eTime Prosperity\u003c\/i\u003e--having the time to accomplish what you want in life without feeling compressed, stressed, overburdened, or hurried. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo how do we achieve this \u003ci\u003eTime Prosperity? \u003c\/i\u003eWe learn to \u003ci\u003eStop Time. \u003c\/i\u003eTo do that, Shojai walks us though a 100-day Gong, which is based on the Chinese practice of designating an amount of time each day to perform a specific task. The ritual helps you become mindful, train your mind, instill new habits, and fundamentally transform your relationship with time. We can find moments of mental awareness while in the shower, eating a snack, listening to podcasts, and even while binge-watching our favorite TV shows. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe shares how to use Gongs to reprogram your habits, reduce stress, increase energy, exercise the ancient practice of mindfulness, and become a master of your time. Whether you do one per day, a bunch at a time, or read the whole book in one sitting, practicing the Gongs is a dedicated act of self-love that snaps us out of our daily trance and brings the light of awareness to our consciousness. The more we practice, the more we wake up, and the better off we are.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePedram Shojai, OMD, \u003c\/b\u003eis the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Urban Monk \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Art of Stopping Time; \u003c\/i\u003ethe founder of Well.org; editor of \u003ci\u003eBeMore! \u003c\/i\u003emagazine; producer of the movies\u003ci\u003e Vitality, Origins, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eProsperity; \u003c\/i\u003eand the host of\u003ci\u003e The Urban Monk \u003c\/i\u003epodcast.
