Calm in the Chaos: How to Find Serenity in a Fast-Paced World with Chris Bailey

We all know, productivity advice is crucial in today's fast-paced world, but it's equally important that we also develop our capacity for calm. By finding calm, we not only feel more relaxed and at ease, but we also build a deeper, more expansive reservoir of energy to draw from throughout the day. Chris joins me today to discuss a range of topics, including how the analog and digital worlds affect calm and anxiety in different ways, how our desire for the neurochemical dopamine can lead to anxiety and a lack of appreciation for everyday experiences, and how hidden sources of stress can be tamed by a "stimulation fast." He'll also be sharing how we can use the science of "savoring" to become more present and enjoy life more, and how "busyness" is as much a state of mind as it is an actual state of life. So join us as we delve into the pursuit of calm and how it ultimately leads us to become more engaged, focused, and deliberate, while making us more productive and satisfied with our lives. In an anxious world, investing in calm can be considered the best productivity strategy around. Meet Chris Bailey. Find the book here: https://amzn.to/3Ib7i0G
