The Next Right Thing: A Simple, Soulful Practice for Making Life Decisions
Ebook
Nothing gets our attention like an unmade decision: Should I
accept the new position? Which schooling choice is best for my
kids? How can I support my aging parents? When we have a
decision to make and the answer isn't clear, what we want more than
anything is peace, clarity, and a nudge in the right
direction.
If you have trouble making decisions, because of either chronic
hesitation you've always lived with or a more recent onset of
decision fatigue, Emily P. Freeman offers a fresh way of practicing
familiar but often forgotten advice: simply do the next right
thing. With this simple, soulful practice, it is possible to clear
the decision-making chaos, quiet the fear of choosing wrong, and
find the courage to finally decide without regret or
second-guessing.
Whether you're in the midst of a major life transition or are weary
of the low-grade anxiety that daily life can bring, Emily helps
create space for your soul to breathe so you can live life with God
at a gentle pace and discern your next right thing in love.

“the input is automatic. So where is the output? How am I regularly getting rid of the soul clutter I no longer need?” (Page 26)
“As you embrace your own version of becoming a soul minimalist, I hope you’ll receive the wisdom to begin to give up what you no longer need, like fear about the future or regret over the past. I hope you’ll embrace a willingness to face the silence within and not worry so much what you may or may not hear. I hope you’ll be willing to create a little space for your soul to breathe so you can discern your next right thing in love.” (Page 29)
“What I’m finding to be most helpful more than any list, question, or sage advice is simply to get quiet in a room with Jesus on the regular, not for the sake of an answer but for the sake of love.” (Page 24)
“Stillness is to my soul as decluttering is to my home” (Page 27)
“What if the way we make decisions is equally as important as the decisions we make? What if choice is one of the primary avenues of our spiritual formation?” (Page 17)
