We live in a culture of immediacy and have come to crave instant gratification. Everything we could possibly want is just a click away, and waiting is simply no longer an option. The flip side, however, is that this often leads to an imbalance in our private and professional lives, which in the long run, can make us very unhappy. In his book, The Art of Patience: How to Persevere in a Hectic World, Raffaele Gaito explains why it is so important to rediscover the value of patience, and provides the reader with his Cycle of Patience method, as a means to do just that. After all, we are not born patient, we become patient.
