Publisher's summary

Nothing gets our attention like an unmade decision: Should I accept the new position? Which schooling choice is best for my kids? How can I support my aging parents? When we have a decision to make and the answer isn't clear, what we want more than anything is peace, clarity, and a nudge in the right direction.

If you have trouble making decisions, because of either chronic hesitation you've always lived with or a more recent onset of decision fatigue, Emily P. Freeman offers a fresh way of practicing familiar but often forgotten advice: simply do the next right thing. With this simple, soulful practice, it is possible to clear the decision-making chaos, quiet the fear of choosing wrong, and find the courage to finally decide without regret or second-guessing.

Whether you're in the midst of a major life transition or are weary of the low-grade anxiety that daily life can bring, Emily helps create space for your soul to breathe so you can live life with God at a gentle pace and discern your next right thing in love.

Perfect Sabbatical Book

This book is a perfect sabbatical book. And, for me, it was exactly what I needed. I resonated with every chapter and tracked deeply with the ideas presented. I loved Freeman’s stories and use of language.

Grateful for this book and highly recommend it to all fellow pilgrims in the journey of life.

Creating space for your soul to breathe

Will take the time to work on the end of chapter projects now that I’ve finished the book. They sound wonderfully promising & productive.

Better than my already anticipated high expectations

This is a must read for....anyone. everyone. Emily has unlocked truths here that you probably have heard before, but she says them in a way that somehow, some way, bring tears to your eyes and whisper “this time it’s true for me.” I’m so thankful for the way her words have shone a light on these simple truths that for so long have been covered by a variety of fears in my own life and my ultimate desire for control, clarity and approval in every single thing I have ever done. Praise God for the freedom we have in Christ. Emily’s book thematically reminds us that there is so much freedom in our decision making and that the actual decision is rarely the point. God wants us to know Him and trust Him and that is such wonderful news for all the stressed out people in this world, myself included.

On repeat

Emily’s words breathe fresh springtime air into my decision weary soul. Once I finished listening the first time, I started it over once again. I need these baby step truths to help set me free. I’m about to listen the third time and get a hard copy that I can mark up and see. Listening to Emily has been a comfort with her calm reassuring voice set in the truth of God. Short chapters are perfect for this homeschooling mama, for the short windows I can take it in as I drive kids around or wash dishes, among other things. Thank you for this book! Well worth a listen or a few times through on repeat.

I made a good decision reading this book

This book contains so many great concepts to help you step out from the normal decision struggle and come to peace with a decision.
Co listeners and no mentors!

So helpful and wonderful narration

I always enjoy Emily’s words and this book was so timely for me. I bookmarked several places to go back and listen to, as this book was filled with practical wisdom. I highly recommend it and enjoyed listening to Emily narrate her work.

A gentle encouragement

I listened to this entire book in a day. So many great thoughts, that I immediately ordered a hard copy so that I can go through it again with my highlighter.

Emily is the perfect narrator.
