About the author

Oli Doyle first started practising mindfulness in 2003, and all he could find were books by the Dalai Lama and other Buddhist writers. Like many others, he found the task of putting those words into practice incredibly difficult, so he set about deconstructing this practice of mindfulness and translating the experience into everyday language. He now teaches mindfulness workshops and through his website and his teaching project, www.alittlepeaceandquiet.com, he provides the practical teaching to help readers deepen their practice quickly. His first book, MINDFULNESS PLAIN AND SIMPLE is aimed at people new to mindfulness and offers an easy way in to the discipline, helping people learn how to be mindful and find peace and happiness.

I found this book to be less than helpful for parenting and I find it strange that the author has written so many different mindfulness books. This one was about mindfulness and had a few anecdotes about children included, but there was no actual advice on the parenting side of things. I much preferred the book ‘How to talk so little kids will listen’ which not only gave me advice on calming down and being more patient with my toddler, but also gave me advice on working with my toddlers towards a goal.
I did take some things away from this book, however. I now take 15 minutes a day to myself to work on a hobby and I am less stressed out for the rest of the day.
