About the author
S.J. Scott
60 books260 followersWall Street Journal bestselling author SJ Scott wanted to be Luke Skywalker when he grew up.
Unfortunately his complete lack of physical grace and introverted mannerism's kept the earth from having their own Jedi Knight to battle the Sith menace.
Steve “SJ” Scott was born and raised in New Jersey. After finishing college with a degree in psychology he knew he needed to further his education or work on his latte making skills.
During a short stint in US Air Force, Scott was able to get his Master’s in business and then moved on to conquer the business world.
Scott then spent a couple of years working for a company not unlike the company depicted in Mike Judge’s film, “Office Space”. After doing his share of “TPS” reports, Scott swore he would never work for anyone but himself.
He spent the next few years making this happen. Making a decent living online and eventually pivoting to writing books, blogging and even podcasting.
Scott has written over 30 books, most of them in the "self-improvement" genre. An area that he is personally passionate about.
His books have been published in 12 different languages. So he is well on his way to world domination. However, in his heart of hearts he knows he will soon have to venture out into the universe and defeat the Sith menace.

As someone who deals with a lot of anxiety, this was a super helpful way to start looking at how to manage some of it in little bits at a time. The book has a bunch of tips, separated by time of day, that will help you start to be more aware of your emotions and begin to manage them. The morning ones have helped me the most. I now get myself up at least 10 minutes earlier than normal and give myself time to just drink a glass of water or cup of coffee outside on the porch.
I've said before that I'm not a huge fan of self help or health books, but this one has actually been an interesting read and has given me things to practice in real life. I would definitely recommend if you have anxiety problems, or are just an overly nervous and active person.

I have never believed in mediation. But recently my dad started doing mediation, and he recommended it to me. I cannot afford hours of meditation everyday, so I bought this book, in the hope to find quick habits that can help me focus, improve productivity and happiness. Honestly the book was not really compelling due to lack of scientific evidence, but many practices which were introduced in the book don’t require much time and effort. So I want to give it a try.
By the way, my dad had a short temper (he said it is already the past). Many times I saw him throwing the bicycle or the TV set into the garden when he couldn’t fix it. But 15 minutes later, he collected and managed to fix it, not perfectly though.
Anyway, this book was a quick read with many practical examples. If you are interested in mediation but don’t have time to participate in hours of yoga or meditation, this could be helpful.
I listed some practical tips from the book below. (The number from the list of the 71 simple habits)
#9 Drink a Full Glass of Water after Awakening
(Warm water is better)
#18 Eat Breakfast Mindfully
(I am on diet but breakfast is the only meal that I can eat whatever I want)
#28 Clear your Desk, Clean your Room in the morning
(I have allergy with house dust, so this is my routine)
#33 Decrease Distractions (especially your smartphone)
#35 Find your Flow State
#38& 48 Cultive a Beginner's Mind and Humility
(Read the book Think Again by Adam Grant. It is a gem!)
#43 Show Appreciation
#46 Brainstorm with Mind Maps
(I ordered a personal whiteboard and placed it beside my desk. It is my best tools at work)
#47 Take a Music Break (No Music No Life)
#49 Practice a Growth Mindset
(Read the book: Mindset, Changing the Way You Think to Fulfill Your Potential by Dr. Carol S. Dweck)
#66& 67 Mindfully Review your Day and Plan for Tomorrow
Beside those habits, I developed some habits that I think are really good for me.
#1 Spend 2 hours a day at the Gym
#2 Secure 4 hours a day for Reading and Thinking
#3 Block the Calendar for those Activities
#4 Re:Think (Questioning the common sense)
#5 Hold my sweetest daughter tight, smell her hair, kiss her forehead and tell her how beautiful she is and I love her the most.
I also would like to recommend the book「BRAIN DRIVEN ( ブレインドリブン ) パフォーマンスが高まる脳の状態とは」by 青砥 瑞人, which I found very convinced with many scientific evidence and very practical as well.

In my teen and early adult years, I lived in a seminary and in several monasteries. A major focus of each day was a number of periods of meditation. I don’t remember ever hearing a clear explanation of what meditation was or how to do it.
In my later years as a psychologist and writer, I again saw meditation discussed as a way to balance life. I learned about Western meditation as a way to focus on inspirational ideas and Eastern meditation as a way to empty the mind. More recently the term mindfulness emerged, closely related to the idea of meditation.
Davenport and Scott define mindfulness this way, “It means you become intentionally aware of the present moment while paying close attention to your feelings, thoughts and sensations of the body.” This is as clear a definition as I have found for the nature of mindfulness.
Many of the writings on mindfulness suggest its benefits but do not say much about how to do it. This book takes a different approach. It does present physical, mental and emotional benefits but does not stop there. It suggests mindfulness habits in very specific detail. Practicing any one of the habits for 10 minutes a day will lead to it becoming a habit for you to use whenever you need to focus your life.
The meat of the book is a series of 71 habits arranged by time of day: morning, late morning, afternoon and evening. It clearly describes how to go about each habit, explaining its usefulness, providing action plans, and supplementing your approach with worksheets and references.
If you have wondered about mindfulness, whether it is worth the effort, or how exactly to go about it, look no further. Here is a comprehensive treatment of the nuts and bolts of the process. The authors do not insist that you learn and practice all 71 habits. They all provide help with specific goals you have for your life. Whether you need to overhaul your life or fine tune it, the tools are waiting for you.

This book is better suited for someone who already practices mindfulness techniques and wants to learn how to fine-tune or expand upon those techniques. It is much too detailed for someone with limited time who is seeking general guidance on how to start the process of slowing down. It is not a good book for me right now; however, it might be a good book for someone else at a different stage in the process.

I'm not usually a fan of self-help books, but this is an exception, especially if you're trying to practice mindfulness. You'll learn about the benefits of mindfulness and why a micro-commitment of just 10 minutes will lead to big changes.
For every minute you practice mindfulness in your day, you generate a reservoir fo inner peace that can support you through the times of "unconscious living."
3.5 of 5 stars

My husband and I both suffer from severe depression. It's a daily struggle to live in the moment and not live in the past. No matter how much we think and obsess over it there is no way to change the past. The should of, could of, would of line of thinking robs us of our present and future.
This book was very eye opening for us. We keep it on our bookshelf in the living room where we can see it at all times. When we start to feel ourselves falling into the depression trap we can pull it out and look it over again. We also have a deal that we can suggest to each other to read it again when we feel the other will benefit from it.
I received this book for free for a fair and honest review. All opinions in this book are 100% my own.

This book is a guide if you wants to start practicing Mindfulness.
It is not anything special, but it gives you some good ideas and suggestions. It is easy to read and take notes. Definitely, doesn’t hurt to try.
I, personally, enjoy reading it and the reading process itself made me conscious about so many things. I tried some of the suggested practices and I felt more “present” than before.
This book gives a good base to start something new and meaningful.

Some good recommendations, but in the "further reading" section there was often "And read this article" as if I was supposed to click there? I read a paper copy of the book- there's no links in paperback. It was really frustrating and off-putting that no one caught that and fixed it before it went to print.

Mindfulness in practice
Really liked the book. Good ideas to develop a mindful way of living. Some are practical, some others I just don’t think they are helpful. Nonetheless a highly recommended book.

I found this book repetitive and boring. Ironically I could not stay "mindful" and "present" while reading it because it was so dull.
August 19, 2017
A few good pieces of advice here but I found a lot of it very wishy washy and not very practical (mindful washing the dishes, mindful going to the toilet, etc).

To understand why this book is important, one must understand what mindfulness is and why is it important.
What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is living consciously. Being conscious of what you are thinking, saying and doing. It is having awareness about the present about what is happening right now without wishing it were different. Mindfulness is having control over your thoughts, your words and your actions. From morning when you wake up till night, each and every activity of you should be done with consciousness, putting your complete self into it. This may be as small as bathing to talking to family.
Why is mindfulness important?
Mindfulness helps in you controlling your thoughts and actions rather than you being controlled by your thoughts, people around you, circumstances, consequences. In daily life many distractions, anxieties, negative habits etc impact your daily life experience which in-turn affects personal relationships, professional life, your personal growth, affects your overall happiness drains one physically, emotionally and thus won't allow to one grow and become better version of oneself. This vicious cycle continues. Mindful living is to fight these and being in driving seat of your life.
How to live mindfully?
Here comes the role of this book. This book gives good amount of simple and small habits which can be easily incorporated into one's daily lives without making drastic changes. Simple habits like a writing your thoughts on paper, deep breathing, walking around garden, noticing how your thought pattern is, defining small daily targets- all these can make tremendous difference in overall life experience. However mere reading this book will not make any changes, one must read it mindfully and start inculcating these habits into life style for making changes happen. The good thing about the book is instead of dwelling too much on psychology and analytical background, it gives ready-made, tried and tested, scientifically arrived suggestions to apply in daily lives. It suggests how starting with 10 minutes a day- to stop, relax and analyse your day can actually make tremendous difference to life. Also, it gives well laid action plan for each habit on how to practically incorporate. Mindfulness is key for unlocking your true potential and living life to the fullest.

End of Week 48: Book 📘48 Completed😊: 10 Minute Mindfulness – S. J. Scott & Barrie Davenport #myread4change #read2lead #read4life #books
We all have moments we reacted too quickly and later on regretted what we spoke in haste. It’s because most of our reaction are on autopilot mode.
Word mindfulness pictures monks in our mind and we discredit idea, stating it is easy for monk to live in present moment, as they don’t have mortgage, bills and other responsibility.
10 Minute Mindfulness claims that mindfulness is as much possibility for us as it for monks and offers 71 mindfulness habits with tons of research, resources and suggestions to make implementation simple.
As they say precaution is better than cure. Mindfulness has numerous benefits and can enrich our physical, mental, and emotional well-being with only time commitment as little as 10 minutes.
Few 🔑 Points –
• When you’re so pumped full of adrenaline and anxiety, your body and mind become addicted to the drama, negativity, and distractions of daily life. This addiction keeps you stuck in a pattern of knee-jerk reactions to thoughts and events.
• The practice of mindfulness anchors you in the present moment, even if it’s for just a few minutes at a time, and actually the best way to build this habit is to start with a few minutes at a time.
Few 📌 Quotes –
1. The practice of detachment and non-judgment of anxious thoughts and feelings helps lessen fearful reactivity to the thoughts.
2. Gratitude is a mindfulness habit that awakens us to the large and small blessings we experience every day.
3. When you are humble, you are grounded in yourself with enough self-assurance and poise that you don’t need to show off, act defensive, or toot your own horn.
4. Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. –Marcel Proust

The short and sweet version of all the generic self-help books on mindfulness. You basically get some concrete options to 'implement' and how to do it. The remaining bloat is cut, although I would say that more could be sheared away: I know how to drink a glass of water, or how to wash the dishes. But you know, then the book would be 10 pages, and that might be too short as well. Think of it as a long blog-post. There is a lot of affiliate marketing in here as well. Do not waste time on that; they did not put it there for your sake, but to sell more books. But some of it is nice, since for each 'habit' they give you the source of why hey recommend it. That is, someone else wrote about it, and they point you to that someone's book/TED talk/study.

Pop-psychologia udająca coś opartego o naukę. Ilość zamiast jakości. Autorzy napisali wiele książek, mam wrażenie, że recyklingowali pomysły ze swoich publikacji, zmiksowali, nadali tytuł i gotowe. Efekt to misz-masz: pomysły idą od uśmiechania się do lustra, przez jogę, po deep work i task blocking. Ale też afirmacje, wizualizacje, jest szur Djoković jako wzór, sporo rzeczy ocierających się o foliarstwo i coachów z Youtube’a. Dużo zapychaczy (długie opisy piany przy zmywaniu naczyń), deformowanie pomysłów, by dostosować je do formuły książki (lej wodę 10 minut, bo to "Mindfulness w 10 minut", sprzątaj biurko, nieważne jak, byle by skończyć w 10 minut). Ciężko z tego bałaganu odsiać coś przydatnego. Kulawe tłumaczenie na polski.

simple yet effective and powerful
This is a book I can embrace and apply right now. I can make 10 minutes in my day for mindfulness habits. I started the mindfulness techniques as soon as I learned about them, choosing the habit suggestions that I can relate to or already doing now and applying more to mindfulness. I have noticed a difference in my daily mental health and how I interact with others. I appreciate the morning suggestions and ways I can start my day positively before getting out of bed. This has been a life saver tool for me. A recommended book regardless of where you are in mindfulness practices.

The basic principles of all 71 10-minute mindfulness exercises are explained in the first few practices. Everything else builds on their foundation. Most of the suggested practices are good advice in general and are essentially a compilation of good advice found just about anywhere good advice can be found.
Mindfulness is rooted in Buddhism and must be kept in perspective by those of other faiths who want to practice mindfulness. Christian, Jewish, and Muslim readers (among others) will need to adjust some of the foundational principles to be consistent with the reader’s respective faith.

For the first time I feel, that Scott is copying many info from previous books and I didn't enjoy this book as much as I do with previous ones. I don't like to read same info all over again and again.
If this is your first book from Scott, you will love it and it will give you so much info! Go for it.
If you read other books from Scott (I read all of them - kind of fan :)), then you can be bored in this one. Since you already know many info.

The author makes it look simple and indeed it is. Al is needed is a bit of resolve to change oneself and it can be made to happen. Scott provides a pretty easy looking approach to living in the moment. He also comes up with some very interesting observations like, " Our cellphones, laptops, and tablets have becomes weapons of mass distraction, pulling us further and further from the only place of real happiness- the present moment." Eminently do-able.

I will say that the book provides exactly what it promises - 71 habits which allow anyone to incorporate mindfulness in their everyday life. On the other hand, very quickly I realized that they all are a variation of the same trick - "whatever it is you do, focus on that action and how you feel at that given moment". So I guess this book is simply a collection of gentle reminders of moments in your everyday life which this thought can be used.

Autorzy sami sobie zaprzeczają (zwłaszcza w temacie snu i gospodarowania czasem), a cała książka ma vibe wywodu bieda amerykańskiego kołcza po kursie on-line. I o ile uważnym ścieleniem łóżka nikt sobie nie powinien zrobić krzywdy, tak sugestia, że uważność leczy depresję jest SZKODLIWYM KOCOPOŁEM. Depresję leczą lekarze, a nie uziemianie się czy picie ciepłej wody rano. Książkę można czytać wyłącznie jako zbiór ciekawostek/inspiracji, jednak nie jestem przekonana czy warto.

I read!my do love this book. It gives you a variety of ways to be more aware of what you are doing. I makes you actually plan ahead instead of just worrying about the next day. It gets you to be more thankful for what you have. Also to stress less.
This book got a good rating for it is easy to follow. For future reference I would like to come back here.

It's alright. Just a list of stuffs. I thought there was something new in here but actually all pieces of advice are quite universal and general. Most people know but they just simply don't have enough motivation to do. And the book doesn't give sufficient push for people to actually put things into action.

I thought this was a great insightful book even though it was required for one of my courses. This book will help you to be more mindful for yourself and others. It gives some great ideas and suggestions to help you out (they are simple). I am attempting some of them and I believe that it is helping me be more present in life.

Overall, I think this book offers a lot of ways for people to add mindfulness techniques to their daily lives. However, it can also be overwhelming to read about so many different options. Definitely the kind of book I’d recommend taking notes on or using post-its to go back and reference the topics/ideas that you resonate with.
