“A helpful and transformative book. MicroShifts can change your life.” – Deepak Chopra, author of Metahuman 2020 Catholic Press Association Book Awards, First Place: Healing/Self-Help 2020 Independent Publisher Book Award, Bronze Medal: Inspirational/Spiritual 2020 Illumination Book Award, Bronze Medal: Self-Help/Recovery 2020 International Book Awards, Finalist: Self-Help—Motivational 2019 Independent Press Award, Distinguished Favorite: Self-Help/Spiritual 2019 Best Book Awards, Finalist: Self-Help/Motivational Gary Jansen, popular author of The 15-Minute Prayer Solution and Life Everlasting, knows how difficult it can be to create significant, sustainable change, especially in our spiritual lives. Sometimes we feel too overwhelmed to even start, and in other cases deepening our relationship with God seems like one more burden among the many we have from day-to-day. In his latest book, Jansen offers an answer that he calls “microshifting”—small, incremental adjustments to the way we think, act, work, and pray that gradually reshape our deeply rooted patterns. With a blend of masterful storytelling and dozens of practical tips, MicroShifts suggests simple, small changes across many aspects of our lives—everything from how we greet others, how we sleep, and how we deal with the incessant chatter in our own heads—to generate big results physically, mentally, and spiritually. If you are looking to improve your life in ways that are achievable, sustainable, and potentially life-changing, MicroShifts is a powerful place to begin.
