The is a brief guide on how to practice mindfulness. The author make a good case for why mindfulness is valuable. He also has clear instructions on how to be mindful.
The theoretical support for his theories was very thin. That is a common thread in many self-help books. However, I felt that what they said was believable. Theories about how the body functions, and recent ideas about how emotions exist in the body would be helpful for a revision of the book.
Also, I'd like to hear more about how his ideas interact with other aspects of life. I felt that self-help books like this tend to focus too much on their recommendations and neglect the rest of the human experience.
One thing that I look for in books is openness to aspects of faith (especially Christian faith). The author mentioned how mindfulness can be practiced in meditative prayer.
Being a guide, much of the writing was repetitive. About a dozen times he mentioned how to breath.

A very simple, basic guide to the barest fundamentals of mindfulness. It is comfortably secular in the sense that it promotes no particular spiritual agenda and frames all the benefits in terms of practical matters. I was able to easily follow what Braza presents, and to attempt a few of the exercises the book presents successfully--so far as I could tell. It is as much a work book as a straight informative piece.
