Everydayness by Mike Morrison offers a compelling exploration of how to discover meaning in our daily lives. Tackling concepts like appreciation, purpose, and sensemaking, the author invites readers into a thoughtful conversation inspired by the pandemic’s impact on our collective sense of purpose. Morrison crafts his narrative to guide people in realizing that true meaning can be found not just in grand achievements but also in life’s smaller, everyday moments.
One of the book’s standout features is its practical approach to mindfulness and intentional living. Morrison emphasizes the power of taking pauses, discussing how stepping back from the busyness of life can transform our perception of time and enrich our appreciation for the present. His insights on this topic feel fresh and actionable, giving readers the tools to create natural pauses in their routines and experience life with greater presence. Initially, Everydayness might feel familiar, especially in the chapter on appreciation, where it treads territory common to many self-help books. However, the narrative soon pivots, offering a unique and nuanced perspective on purpose. Morrison makes it clear that the path to finding meaning is deeply personal and non-linear, a concept that reassures readers and affirms that differences in our journeys are not only expected but essential. His discussion of purpose is both illuminating and relatable. The author weaves in additional insights on creating intentional routines and living with purpose, sparking reflection and making the book more than just a guide—it becomes a source of inspiration. Morrison’s ability to balance philosophical depth with practical advice ensures that readers are not only engaged but also equipped to implement meaningful changes in their lives.
I’d recommend Everydayness to anyone feeling trapped in the mundane or yearning for more meaning in their daily routine. It’s a thoughtful, refreshing read that prompts reflection and encourages a deeper connection with the small moments that make life truly meaningful.

Mike Morrison's "Everydayness" provides a new perspective on living meaningfully in today's fast-paced world. Unlike other self-help books, Morrison offers a practical, research-backed strategy for discovering meaning in everyday activities. The book covers three important practices: appreciation, intentionality, and sensemaking, which serve as the foundation for transforming everyday experiences into chances for growth. Morrison's work is especially pertinent in the post-pandemic era, as it provides methods for navigating the unique challenges of recent global events.
While the notion isn't wholly novel, Morrison's method is understandable and practical. He avoids oversimplified "positive thinking" slogans and instead offers practical ways for improving daily situations. "Everydayness" is a helpful guide for individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or looking for significance in their daily lives, reminding them that meaningful living begins with a shift in perspective and deliberate involvement with the present moment.

The book I didn’t know I needed…
I think every now and then we all need to be reminded that finding meaning in life just means learning to see it, appreciate it, and allow ourselves to experience it. This book shows us how what we do on a daily basis shapes who we become. We really get an eye-opener on how to spend our days in the most meaningful way. And it isn’t just theory, a lot of it comes from real world experiences. I love this quote, “meaning in life is best found within us and through the moments that make up our days.”

Let’s take a break
Everydayness, written by Mike Morrison, is a book I find interesting and highly useful. It’s a great reminder to take a step back, reflect on our daily routines, and pause the constant rush that often comes with trying to keep up with trends in a fast-paced, information-saturated world.
Morrison encourages us to rethink how we approach our mental and emotional well-being, urging us to focus on truly enjoying our days—and ultimately, our lives. If this approach resonates with you, I highly recommend reading this book.

Great book!
This book is life changing. I think Morrison did a great job with the approach of it, and moreover during this post pandemic times where some routines and priorities changed a lot. He approaches topics as Apreciation, Purspose, Mindsets that would help the reader to potential their wellbeing and their way of relating with the environment in these times. I really recommend it reading it.

Great book to try to find meaning in daily life through intentional living, appreciation and presence. Especially nowadays that everything seems to be really fast paced. I think this book is great for everyone really, to take a break from everything and reassemble a more organic and insightful way of living. I really like the message about finding purpose in ordinary moments.
