What is the The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer?
Part spiritual formation and part cultural critique, John Mark Comer draws on the teachings of Dallas Willard to argue that hurry is the greatest enemy of the interior life and offers four ancient practices — silence, sabbath, simplicity, and slowing — as a counter-formation. The book resonates strongly with readers burned out by productivity culture.
