🔥 THE LOST SKILL OF WAITING: Why Patience Vanished & Anxiety Replaced It

The Lost Skill of Waiting is a reflective exploration of how patience quietly disappeared from modern life—and how anxiety moved in to replace it. It looks at a world trained for immediacy, where delays feel unbearable, silence feels threatening, and waiting is mistaken for failure.

This ebook examines how constant speed reshaped our nervous systems, shortened attention spans, and turned uncertainty into stress. It explores what was lost when boredom vanished, anticipation flattened, and every pause became something to fill or escape. Waiting, once a natural part of living, became something to resist.

Rather than offering techniques or solutions, this book names the emotional cost of never slowing down. It reflects on time, trust, stillness, and the quiet ways impatience shows up in relationships, identity, and self-worth. It invites readers to recognize how much of their anxiety is rooted not in danger, but in the absence of space.

If you’ve ever felt restless during silence, uneasy during delays, or exhausted by the need for constant movement, this book will resonate.
