Om Sweet Om: A Corporate Junkie's Search for Enlightenment

by Nicole Lovald

Om Sweet Om is the inspiring story of how a stressed-out corporate junkie found her way to a yoga mat--and eventually, back to herself. After fifteen years of working in the land of cubicles, unreasonable deadlines, and unhealthy habits, Nicole Lovald realized there had to be a better way to live. She had lost sight of how to take care of herself, and her body was letting her know that something had to give. Om Sweet Om takes you through her transformation, as well as the practical tools she used on her mind-body-spirit path. In this book you will find hope, humor, raw emotion, vulnerability, and endless wisdom. The practical exercises sprinkled throughout make for a life-changing experience and will appeal to anyone who has found themselves searching. No matter what it is you seek, Om Sweet Om shares how to quiet the inner mind's chatter and unnecessary striving so that you can become whole again.

Nicole Lovald’s book, Om Sweet Om: A Corporate Junkie’s Search For Enlightenment, is equal parts memoir and self-help guide. She offers lots of good reminders about slowing down, self-reflection, mindfulness of overcompensation, and being in the moment.

In an assertive yet nurturing voice, Lovald shares many vulnerable aspects of her evolution from “corporate addict” to yoga teacher, life coach, and self-care advocate. The result: it feels like a private wellness coaching session that guides readers toward getting in touch with their authentic selves.

Pointed questions from Lovald encourage readers to evaluate and modify their relationship with stress. The research data, and referenced works included add weight to the book’s effectiveness. As well, the guided meditations are fantastic tools for anyone (no matter the life or vocational circumstances) who wants better strategies in dealing with stress and attaining overall wellness.
