Most people feel that time is money. The Chafetz Chayim, however, taught that money is time. In other words, money takes time. The struggle for physical comfort and security has become more time consuming than ever in our technologically “advanced” society.

The dream of a life full of leisure-time activities or free time to fulfill our spiritual goals has become just that: a dream. We are, instead, involved in a high-speed chase just to keep up with our fast-paced world.

The average American today will live to over 75 years of age. Each day is 1440 minutes long. Each year is made up of 525,000 minutes. A 75-year life is a collection of almost 40 million minutes.

Yet, each of you probably has trouble spending even one minute with yourself.

This book is not meant just to be read. It is meant to be used as a tool, to get you to spend at least One Minute with Yourself. Each and every day you should be thinking about self-improvement, personal relationships, and spiritual growth(as is advised by the Mesillat Yesharim).

This book is intended to help you improve your character and deal with daily challenges. It is intended to break your bad habits and get you to develop a new, productive habit: spending ONE MINUTE WITH YOURSELF, free of distraction, every single day. Read, enjoy, learn- and grow!
