Perfect Balance

We work without rest or rest without purpose. We consume information without thinking, love without listening, promise without delivering and buy without asking. The problem rarely lies in what we do, but in its measure.

Inspired by the ancient wisdom of Delphi, Aristotle, the Buddha, Confucius and the Stoics, and grounded in contemporary science on sleep, nutrition, movement, emotions and relationships, Perfect Balance puts forward an idea that is both demanding and compassionate: human perfection is not the absence of mistakes, but the constant practice of observing oneself, correcting oneself, repairing harm, learning and contributing to the common good.

Across seventeen chapters, with facts, stories, exercises and a twelve-week program, this book helps readers cultivate, with measure, their mind, body, spirit, relationships, word, capacity to create, civic commitment and relationship with nature.

A map for choosing consciously, correcting humbly and contributing to the world without destroying yourself in the attempt.
