This book may not give you a spiritual insight (or maybe, who knows?) This is a book about the science of mindfulness: what is mindfulness? why do we need it? what are the benefits? and how do we practice it? This book, and mindfulness itself, is not just about meditation, but also about eating, yoga, exercises and daily routines. Not in details, but in general, and bite-size, easy-to-digest chapters.

Very informative and I will take some the advice in it. It teaches how to balance our lives and live in the present moment. It also alerts to the danger of bad habits and the impact in our lives. It gives some sound advice of how to lead a productive life in order to attain mental stability.

Kitap gibi degil, kucuk bolumlerde konuyu anlatiyor. Mindfulness derin bir konu ve herkes meditasyona zaman ayirin diyor. Ben ikna oldum ama aksiyona gecemedim.

"Nature does not yet hurry, yet everything is accomplished." - Lao Tzu.

This book has a lot of great information and advice; I feel like I need to keep it on hand to plan out my life.

Informative, concise, and uplifting. Mindfulness is a hot topic in this day and age of hectic lifestyles and heightened anxieties. This book gets right to the point, giving expert, practical advice on how to benefit from mindfulness in every aspect of our lives. I will definitely refer to this book again and incorporate many of these practices. I recommend this book to everyone.
