A New Book to Add to Your Reading List About Subtraction

 Ironic, don't you think?  Adding a book to your reading list about "subtraction"?  Yet, it really isn't that weird or odd once you consider subtracting the many things in your life that are worth little to nothing -- perhaps even liabilities -- leave a lot more room for the "good stuff" in life.  And that is the reason I penned my new book:

Subtraction: The Quiet Discipline of Removing What's Ruining Your Life.

As I describe the book online at Amazon:

Most of us don’t feel overwhelmed because life is lacking something.

We feel overwhelmed because life is carrying too much.

We add commitments, noise, expectations, pressure, possessions, and endless self-improvement projects… and then wonder why peace never shows up. We keep trying to fix ourselves by adding more.

What if the real work is subtraction?

In this quiet, concise, and deeply honest book, Christopher M. Wathen invites readers into a slower, steadier way of living — one shaped not by chasing, optimizing, or controlling, but by gently removing what doesn’t belong.
With a reflective tone and hard-earned honesty, Subtraction explores:

With a reflective tone and hard-earned honesty, Subtraction explores:

• why “more” quietly exhausts the soul
• the lies we tell ourselves when life feels out of control
• what happens when we release hurry, resentment, and the need to manage everything
• how clarity, purpose, and peace begin to grow once the clutter fades

This isn’t a self-help formula and it isn’t a checklist.

There are no quick fixes and no motivational hype.

Instead, it’s an invitation back to a life that can finally breathe — rooted, patient, grounded, and honest.

If you’re tired of feeling crowded inside… if success hasn’t delivered the peace you imagined… if you’re ready to lay down what isn’t yours to carry…

Start here.

Perfect for readers who appreciate spiritual reflection, contemplative living, minimalism with depth, and a slower approach to growth.

With that, I hope you'll not only check it out, perhaps purchase, but -- ad most importantly -- add it to your life, so the subtraction you'll begin to realize you may need will add abundance to your life.
