A Year of Stillness
A Year of Stillness is a unique guide that sheds light on the process of spiritual awakening. It describes the various states of consciousness on the journey toward an enlightened life. The journey is not always easy, but A Year of Stillness is hard evidence that it is a journey worth taking.
In this book, Jussi Niittyviita shares intimate experiences of inner peace and contemplates the usually overlooked beauty of life. A Year of Stillness describes one year in ordinary human life from a highly exceptional point of view. Despite being a diary, this book is not very concerned with the typical situations of life—it is more attuned with the awareness of life itself. This awareness is the path to many beautiful states of being; unconditional joy, deep feelings of love, recognition of intense beauty, inner peace and compassion, and many others.
A Year of Stillness invites its readers to embrace a new perception of life that radiates with inner peace. A silent and soothing stillness breathes within such life.

Not what I expected. I can see why people with kids would like it, but I can't relate and I'm pretty disappointed in many of the daily examples of how one is supposed to think and feel on a given day. I will donate and hopefully it falls in the hands of someone who can relate and will enjoy.
