    About this ebook

    Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living by Shauna Niequist | Book Summary | Abbey Beathan

    (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.)

    A book dedicated to make you realize the things that are actually important in your life and make you happy.

    Human beings have been conditioned with the idea that success and achievement brings true happiness in life, but actually, it is connection and meaningful things that provide genuine bliss. In Present Over Perfect, best-selling author Shauna Niequist delivers a collection of essays that talk about how to live a connected and free life which will ultimately make us a happy individual.

    (Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way)

    "What kills a soul? Exhaustion, secret keeping, image management. And what brings a soul back from the dead? Honesty, connection, grace." – Shauna Niequist

    Many of us feel consumed with work but we keep going at it because we think that success is what makes us happy. But by doing that, we actually miss out on sweet moments that would bring happiness into our life. Shauna Niequist's new book is about making an effort to differentiate what life is all about and to not miss out on it because we are distracted with other stuff.

    Present Over Perfect is a love letter to life that will make you appreciate what you currently have and work hard to keep it.

    P.S. Present Over Perfect is an extremely helpful book that will make you reconsider your priorities in life in order to live happily.

    P.P.S. It was Albert Einstein who famously said that once you stop learning, you start dying.

      Even as a guy, I find this easy to relate to, if a bit feminine with examples. That's fine - I don't think for one moment I'm the target audience. I keep this on my desk at work and read it more like a devotional than a true Christian living book. I may go weeks without looking at it, or read 5 chapters in an afternoon. The average chapter is 5 pages, so not a hard task.

      THIS IS GOLD. I have been working since college, never stopping. i would apply for a job weeks before resigning to one. I never had a "job rest." i pat myself in the back because of this. i am too proud and rest makes me feel queasy that i find comfort in overworking... this is such a good read, made me rethink how i am living my life... every time i work, i think about rest, but when that "rest" comes, i think about all the work and wait on time so i can start working again... need to breathe... need to live... thank you for this summary!

      In a sense, this book saved my life and helped me find soul again. I am so grateful the book found me when it did. As I was reading it I kept thinking I didn't want it to end. It is a book I will read over and over to keep reminding me of what is most important in life.
