Running on Empty - A Practical Guide to a Contented Life
- Price
- $12.99
Diagnosed with a rare, fatal brain disorder at fifty, teacher and former bishop Joseph Burns Alston distills a lifetime of lessons into a gentle guide for weary souls. Using a vehicle-and-road metaphor, he identifies the 'gas-guzzling enemies' of busyness, counterfeit praise, and materialism, then points readers toward forgiveness, faith, family, and simplicity. Part inspirational essay, part reflection journal with guided exercises, it invites readers to slow down, examine their lives, and refuel for a more contented journey home.
- Written by a former bishop and teacher facing his own terminal diagnosis—wisdom from a man out of time
- A guide AND a journal: guided 'Tune-Up' prompts let readers write their own path to contentment
- Names the three modern 'enemies' of a happy life—busyness, praise-seeking, and stuff—and how to beat them
- Warm, joke-filled, deeply human—reads like a wise friend talking you through your hardest season
Perfect for an overwhelmed, weary adult—especially a Latter-day Saint facing illness, loss, or burnout—looking for gentle, spiritually grounded encouragement to slow down and refocus on what matters.
