Publisher's summary

Have you ever felt like a fraud or failure as you struggle to find balance in life? Do you find yourself juggling everything in mediocrity and feeling like you're succeeding at very little? In her no-nonsense style, Alli Worthington - popular podcaster and author of The Year of Living Happy - tackles the big questions about finding happiness and one's God-given purpose.

Breaking Busy marries popular secular research with solid biblical principles, instilling confidence that you, too, can move from crazy busy to confident calm. With refreshing candor, uproarious true stories, and a Christian worldview, Alli delivers truths that dismantle common happiness myths. Then she empowers you to get unstuck, to let go of the good to make way for the great, to know yourself and your Creator, and ultimately to find peace and purpose in this world of crazy.

You will:

  • Learn how to stop chasing what leaves you empty and start doing what you were created to do.
  • Identify the common lies you believe and how to strip their power from your life.
  • Recognize how what you say no to determines what you can say yes to.

With relatable anecdotes, Alli models real-life guidance on boundaries, relationships, and self-care, humbly examining her own mistakes and walking through how she learned from her missteps and found peace in a world of busyness.

If you long to find real connection with both your loved ones and your Creator, Alli Worthington deftly balances intelligent humility and heartwarming humor to help you rediscover your path.

Inspirational, encouraging, convicting. loved it!

I loved this book . As a mom of 4, working, raising kids, being a wife and in ministry I could relate to so much of what Alli talked about. I can't recommend this book enough to women, especially those trying to prioritize and not be so frazzled and busy.

a must read for all of us!

Genius! I will be buying several copies to Give as gifts. Also buying a hardcopy for myself to work through the questions at the end of each chapter.

Fantastically Practical

Alli's way of exposing the realities of life and how God has pulled her through not only touched my heart but hit home in so many ways. I laughed, I cried, and most importantly I walked away with practical action steps on how to be less busy but more fulfilled in life! Thank you!!!

Highly recommend!

This was an amazing book! I only regret not having it years ago! What freedom in not needing to be all things to all people and instead working within my giftings that bring joy.

Read this book.

I needed this so much right now. So thankful for Allie answering Gods call to write this book. Feels like it was just for me. So busy lately that I’m physically breaking down and I am putting an end to it right now.

I broke busy

After listening to this book. Prioritizing becomes easy for me. I don't take task that God will not support me in, no matter how little it is.
