On Episode #40 of the Book Talk Today podcast we are joined by Adam Lowenstein(@adamlowenstein) Adam M. Lowenstein spent eight years working in American government and politics in the United States, most recently as speechwriter and strategic communications advisor in the United States Senate. We discussed:

Adam M. Lowenstein, author of Reframe the Day, is a former U.S. Senate speechwriter who left the nonstop, striving-obsessed world of American politics and discovered that with some simple tweaks to the way in which he approached each day he could resist the allure of 'busyness' and find more meaning in his day and his life. In Reframe the Day, Adam writes about practical systems we can use to nudge our days in a more fulfilling direction as opposed to an endless series of “what's nexts” — what's the next meeting, task, obligation, goal, achievement? When people ask Adam what he does, how does he like to reply? How does Adam see himself today, his identity? How would Erin, his wife, say he has reframed how he sees himself? We don't discuss the cost of identity? What's the cost? How Adam sold himself the self-image and identity of an unfeeling workaholic, using 'busyness' to mask vulnerabilities. What are the most important habits that Adam has in his day that backs up his identity? The book is Reframe the Day. What has Adam reframed in the last 100 days that has had a profound impact on his world? Our lives feel like an endless series of “what's nexts.” How has Adam reframed this feeling? Why everyone else's 'busyness' seems more productive and useful than our own? Discover who you are by figuring out who you are not. Tara Brach talks about “mental noting”. How does Adam use mental noting to reframe his day? “Tuesdays to write” - how does that work? "And you can take pride in what you're doing. As writer Joshua Wolf Shenk recounts, during the Civil War, a Union general asked President Abraham Lincoln “Act well your part,” Lincoln told the general. “There all the honor lies.” Abraham Lincoln took to heart not just the power of the written word, but the power of actually writing the words.
