This is a very fascinating book that I would recommend to anyone. It offers many great tools for being present and grateful, and it has a lot of interesting information on how the brain works and changes psychology/physiologically.

Helpful and easy to read; this book made mindfulness and meditation very approachable. I’ve already implemented some of these techniques and have felt a lot of improvement in my life.

Love the breakdown of everything into smaller pieces. Loved the step-by-step guide and tips along the way.
How far have you come? You can always continue to improve, but if you are beginning to be successful with discovering mindfulness for yourself, then you will understand the quotations and begin to find in yourself that you can absorb the energy of the moment and that will energize you and help you grow in contentment
The ultimate aim is to be happy in yourself and make the most of your life. If your approach is secular, you’ll want to make this one and only life as good as it can be. If you are a person of faith – any faith – then making this life, a good one will lead you onto a better

My book title is slightly different than the above. ISBN 978-1-78950-536-8 (2021) is my copy.
This is one of the best books (so far) that I have read about Mindfulness, clear and lucid.
This quote alone (P.16) to me is priceless! "What concerns us is not the way things actually are, but rather the way we think things are" (Epicteus) "A situation might be quite innocuous but because we are viewing it from a standpoint coloured by emotion - be that anger, love, jealousy or whatever - our interpretation is coloured" (Wendy Hobson).

This book may be small but it’s filled with big ideas and tips on how to start meditating and why meditation is an important strategy to help you navigate and manage a busy life, difficult people and challenging situations.
Whether you are a beginner or deep into meditation, you are likely to find plenty of take-aways in this British book.
