This book is a compilation of every great piece of advice you've ever heard from coaches, therapists, books and friends about mindfulness, and best of all it will only take you a few hours to read. Definitely one to own and refer back to often.

Excellent. I will update this review in the near future as I continue to work on building my presence, but it already feels like "it's working", I'm looking at the challenges in my life in a whole new way and appreciating a lot of things all around me in day to day life that I was almost completely unconscious of for a long time. Really inspiring and I'd recommend anyone and everyone check it out. It's like a rough how-to guide for developing the traits required for success and happiness and it's all ideas and insights you can implement very easily and immediately. Could be 5 stars but I mean, it isn't like breathtaking literature or anything, just extremely useful and relevant leadership, self-improvement and communication advice.
