Being a captivating speaker, Bill Butterworth can take his time getting to the point in this compact primer on living a balanced life. He's utterly charming as he asks us to clarify our goals and work on the distractions and dysfunctions that throw us off course. His lengthy illustrations will force listeners to get out of their impatient Western brains and open up listening centers closer to the heart. He gently but convincingly reminds us that personal discipline remains a cornerstone of the satisfying life. This includes staying organized, pacing oneself, staying connected to others, and making time for learning, fun, and reflection. The production is a concise mix of narrative and intellectual content that will motivate a wide range of would-be achievers.
