Contentment in Chaos Declan Wilson

2020 forced us all to slow down. To spend time indoors with those we care about the most. To reflect on life and shave away the frivolous distractions that keep us from our true desires. This book is for those who struggle to find contentment among the chaos surrounding their lives. Contentment is a superpower, it flies in the face of our evolutionary wiring which programs us to gather more, want more, desire more. Because the more we have, our DNA says, the greater chance of survival we have. Contentment says the opposite: I have enough. Let me enjoy this in peace. In 23 curated essays, author Declan Wilson shares the lessons he's learned from a tumultuous, yet life-changing, year that have allowed him to set aside ambition and instead find happiness in the simple things.
