Rent The Three Marriages: Reimagining Work-Life Balance

Synopsis

There are three crucial relationships, or "marriages," in our lives—the marriage we have with our significant other, the marriage we have with our work, and the marriage we have with our inner self. In The Three Marriages, the bestselling author, poet and motivational speaker, David Whyte, argues that many of us overlook one or all of these relationships. Too often we fracture our lives and split our energies foolishly, so that these marriages wither and die. But if we pay attention to these relationships, if we take time to concentrate on them and look at how these relationships connect to each other, our lives and our futures will blossom.

Whyte invites us to examine each marriage and shows us the importance of loving, honoring, and cherishing all three in equal parts. Drawing from his own personal struggles to achieve this goal as well as exploring the lives and writings of some of the world's great writers and activists—from Dante to Joan of Arc, from Austen to Dickens—Whyte explores the human experience to reveal that our core commitments are irrevocably connected.

In prose that's both lyrical and precise, Whyte probes these elegant and captivating propositions about bringing true balance to our lives, in the process enlightening all of us on how to fina a path to a more examined, more fulfilling life.
