Okay, Be Like A Monk After All

"In a world of endless meetings, cell-phone calls, BlackBerry messages, and beepers, finding time for solitude requires conscious intention and commitment. Investment in solitude promotes well-being, creativity, and energy. And, as Edison understood, it helps us get more out of our social interactions. Psychologists investigating the benefits of solitude... conclude that time alone strengthens our ability to connect with others.

Take time to meditate or just go for a walk by yourself on a daily basis. Once every few months, however hectic your life may be, get away by yourself for at least one day." - Michael Gelb
