I hope you're finding a little bit of space this July.

Recently, I turned back to this 115-year-old poem called "Leisure" from W. H. Davies.

I originally put it into my book ‘The Happiness Equation’ and still find it a helpful prod to make sure I'm making time to make time.

Take a moment today to just stand and stare. 💚 🌳🍃🐦

I'm the New York Times bestselling author of six books including The Book of Awesome and The Happiness Equation. I've been lucky to speak at places like TED, SXSW, and Google. And I host a huge passion project called the 3 Books podcast.
