Last year, poet Maggie Smith gave us the book we needed with the bestseller Keep Moving: Notes on Loss, Creativity and Change. This year, she’s back with a new book that helps us rediscover the magic of living in the moment. In this episode, Maggie talks about her new book, Goldenrod, which explores such common themes as parenthood, gratitude, solitude, love and loss. Then she explains how she has learned to live in the moment.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The importance of slowing down and paying attention to the world around you.
• How being less busy can make you more productive.
• The importance of taking time to see things from a new perspective.
