Praise for Tranquility by Tuesday
“I've long loved Laura Vanderkam's focus on achieving calm in the
midst of our full and fast-moving lives, and this is an
indispensable manual for doing just that. Tranquility by Tuesday
offers plenty of inspiration for a more serene life – but also, no
less importantly, down-to-earth and evidence-backed advice for
actually making it happen."
--Oliver Burkeman, New York Times bestselling author of Four
Thousand Weeks
“This book is truly great! Vanderkam offers well-researched ways to
break away from the guilt and shame associated with doing something
for yourself, as well as strategies for creating boundaries for
this time. Vanderkam helps us prioritize our time for the ultimate
goal— to be interested in our own lives."
--Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play and
Find Your Unicorn Space
“Laura Vanderkam never promises her readers a better life without
also telling them exactly how to achieve it. This book is well
researched and so helpful, especially because it comes from a
personal place for her. She understands the frustration and
exhaustion so many of us are feeling, and she has found a way to
feel better. Not just while you're on vacation or over the weekend,
but every day."
--Celeste Headlee, author of Do Nothing, We Need to Talk, and
Speaking of Race
“This book is for anyone who just loves overscheduling their
life...but doesn't love what it does to them. Laura Vanderkam's
nine brilliant time rules are the opposite of finger-wagging:
generous, practical, revelatory, and deeply flexible to adapt to
whatever *your* version of a burstingly-full life looks like right
now. After reading Tranquility by Tuesday, I have finally found
satisfaction in the chaos."
--Lauren Smith Brody, author and founder of The Fifth Trimester
“Tranquility is a gift: a research-backed, step-by-step guide to
making time for what—and who—matters most. Vanderkam offers
essential strategies for making the most of our days, no matter how
busy we are, and finding meaning in our daily routines and
relationships. This book will make you more thoughtful and
intentional about how you spend your most precious
resource—time.”
--Ximena Vengoechea, author of Listen Like You Mean It
“Time is finite and options are infinite. This book dives into that
tension, and comes up with exciting new personal patterns that are
equally powerful at work and at home.”
--Aaron Dignan, author of Brave New Work
"In a niche already overflowing with guidance, Laura Vanderkam
stands out as one of the field's most astute writers. She continues
to offer surprising and valuable insights about making the most of
our precious and limited time. I've greatly benefited from Laura's
work over the years, and I’m so excited to implement the
simple and practical nine-point framework she presents in
Tranquility by Tuesday.”
--Anne Bogel, author of I'd Rather Be Reading and Don't Overthink
