    About this audiobook

    Life Is A Race and With So Many Responsibilities It Can Feel Overwhelming

    “An elegant, powerful, and simple tool for finding serenity. Just what the world needs right now.” ―Richard Carlson, author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

    We are always on the go. Balancing work, family, friends, and everything in between is a routine of running and never stopping─a cycle that can be tiring. We forget the beauty of the smaller moments and sometimes we forget ourselves.

    Stopping is a gift to yourself. Knowing when to breathe and regain a clearer vision of yourself and your surroundings helps give you a fresh perspective and an inner balance meant to help you feel in control of the bigger things.

    Who are you? What are your true priorities? Your responsibilities may have taken over and are preventing you from living to your fullest potential. Dr. Kundtz gives you insight into key questions you should be asking.

    Stop whatever you’re doing and enjoy the sunrise. Big things can grab your attention but don’t forget to turn around and find the serenity in stillness─the peace in a deep breath, and the happiness in remembering who you are.

    With this valuable guide learn to:

    • Connect with the spiritual aspects of your life
    • Practice mindfulness and reduce stress
    • Acknowledge when it becomes too much and take a step back
    • Use proper coping tactics to create healthier habits

    If you enjoyed books like A New Earth, The Untethered Soul, or The Road Less Traveled, then you’ll love The Art of Stopping: How to Be Still When You Have to Keep Going.

    Editor's Note

    Stop what you’re doing…

    Stopping is not slowing down, according to author David Kundtz. Stopping is actually coming to a standstill, taking a break from the constant race that most of us participate in each day. “Time spent doing nothing allows us to awaken what is most meaningful and valuable to us,” writes Kundtz, in this inspiring guide to living intentionally.

The concept of still points is well-received and the book offers a beautiful journey to slow down and reflect.

      This is a nice book /audiobook! With life so fast phasing and when resting appears to be a sin and a weakness, it is very important to keep it mind that stopping/ resting/ meditating/ contemplating or whatever you call it, is an indispensable requirement to greatness!
    • 5/5
      My favorite takeaway from the book is having still points whenever, wherever. This is a good read!

      Annoying narration of 46 chapters of elementary fluff! Don't bother.
    • 2/5
      I’m sure the message of the book is fantastic. I mean, who doesn’t want to learn how to stop or slow down? However, the message was completely lost in the terrible narration. The narrator had awkward pauses and breathed loudly in the middle of sentences, but blew right through periods at the end of a sentence and rushed into the next one. There are sections that you have to listen carefully to in order to understand what they’re saying, but her odd pauses (or lack thereof) and loud breathing are just too difficult to get past.

      This is the second audiobook I’ve listened to where the narrator did this. Not sure if it’s a new trend in audiobook narration but I don’t like it. Punctuation is not just for reading it’s also for speaking, and should not be ignored.

      Unfortunately, I can’t finish this book in audiobook form. I may give the book a read at some point but who knows.

      Writing seemed ok, but the narration just rubbed me wrong. As such I gave up on the book early and may read it instead.

      I liked the book and the way it was narrated. The concept of still points is very important. I feel the title of the book should have been the necessity of pausing and perusing
