Take Your Time

Suberb book I would say.It is my third book of Eknath Easwaran. This is one book which is most relevant for present times with so many distractions and so much to do with so little time. The book should in fact be a must for colleges so that students not only get academic credentials but also the knowledge of how to face different situations in their life. This book will surely give them much needed tools both for success and fulfillment and for enjoying their success.This book is relevant for everyone (a student, a procrastinator, a business man, housewife, etc.). As is the style of writing of Eknath Easwaran, he puts forth such important knowledge in such a simple and profound manner that the reader gets glued to the book. This book is to be read slowly (and principles assimilated) and should be read again and again. This book contains practical tools that we know instinctively but have forgotten and can re-learn and put to use in our lives.A must read book for any book lover.

It’s a great book. I have read Eknath Eshwarans upanishads before and was keen to read more of his books. When u read his books, he comes across as someone you can relate to, and offer practical tips (given our daily hassles), as opposed to someone giving a discourse from a high pedestal

This is one of eknath's best books according to me. He writes succinctly and makes a point so well that it stays with you much after you have finished the book and tucked it away in the corner of your library. His ability to marry examples with spiritual concepts is superb. This book is a must read for the stressed out business executive or overwhelmed householder....gives a wonderful perspective on time and the present moment. Highly recommend.

This is a must read book for today's generation which has much shorter attention span and is hungry for 'instant' results and gratification. Although this book is written much earlier, this book is more relevant today than ever. Eknath Easwaran was able to convince me to take my time, to slow down, to do one thing at a time, to find balance in life, to live in freedom and to give more time for relationships. He also talks about meditation and the Eight Point Program. Throughout the book, he has mentioned key takeaways which makes it easier for the readers to refer them whenever required. Look forward to read other books written by Eknath.[...]

A very useful book for youth. I would strongly recommend them to read this book. They will realise the importance of slowing down......right now they don't know how to live their lives properly. This book will give them a better perspective.

Fantastic book! The author lucidly explains the need to slow down in the fast paced world to be able to lead a stress free life, build harmonious relationshipa and find joy in everything. The book also talks about the means to do all this.Definitely worth the read.

Simple and easy to understand...one can get good learning for this book toh stay calm and patient in every situation... Must read book

Written in simple words. It makes us mindful of the activities we do. And suggests to undertake one activity at a time with complete awareness. I found a change in me and doing each task becomes efficient and peaceful.

This is one of my favorite all time authors. His books are the best. I can tell you that you will enjoy anything that he has ever written. This one is another well written work by an author with a wonderful writing style that is deeply moving as well as so easily understandable; he is rather like an old friend sitting across the table from you having a heart to heart chat while at the same time really teaching you something that will change your life.

This book was my first foray into the "mindfulness " arena. It is straightforward , easy to read and well-written. It also serves as a " meditation 101" guidebook..... In fact , it gave me the impetus to start meditating. The author Ecknath Easwaran has written extensively on the subject and it's been a real treat to discover him .I would highly recommend this book to anyone trying to slow down and become more cognizant and mindful in our hectic, multitasking society!

This is a fabulous book; I know that I will be rereading it periodically because every word is so deeply helpful.

I have not read this author in the past. I found the book to be an easy read. His suggestions were very simple and easy to understand. The best part was his ability to explain how to work those suggestions into anyone's lifestyle.

Not what I expected from one of the greatest spiritual writers. BUT, for one just starting to expose oneself to a great road of spiritual enhancement, read it and read all the others. He is wonderful. You will thank me.
