Every day for more than a decade, members of the World Community for Christian Meditation worldwide receive a brief reflection, Daily Wisdom, from Laurence Freeman, a Benedictine monk and leader of the community. In just a few sentences, each day readers can orientate themselves to a more reflective and less reactive approach to the challenges of the coming day and living wisely and well in a restless, noisy world.

In this collection, recipients have helped Fr Laurence select 366 reflections that have had particular resonance. The result is book of daily meditations to last the whole year and offering wisdom with which to begin, end or punctuate the day, and to be turned to again and again.

The book is illustrated with atmospheric images photographed by Laurence Freeman that also appear with the Daily Wisdom posts.
