Margin
Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial, and Time Reserves to Overloaded Lives
Book • 2023
In this book, Dr. Richard A. Swenson addresses the issue of chronic overloading in modern life and introduces the concept of 'margin' as a solution.
Margin is defined as the space between our load and our limits, acting as a buffer to help us heal, relate, reflect, and recharge.
The book provides seventy-five practical prescriptions for restoring margin in areas such as emotional energy, physical energy, time, and finances.
It emphasizes the importance of simplicity, rest, and balance in achieving a healthier and more fulfilling life, particularly from a Christian perspective.
