For those who battle worrying over everything from daily to global issues, best-selling author Lipsky (Trauma Stewardship) says the first step is to separate what is and isn't within our control; the second step is to act on that which is in our power to change and relinquish what is not. Combining New Yorker cartoons and sage advice, Lipsky moves readers through the process of minimizing distraction and heightening intention. By paring away the unnecessary, advises the author, people do less of what erodes them and more of what sustains them, asserting that only then can we be a force for good in the world. VERDICT An engaging read that will appeal to anyone who is feeling overwhelmed and looking for support.
