Mindfull by Irish radio presenter and comedian Dermot Whelan is about his experience of burnout and alcohol and how he turned to mediation to improve his life. I would have always assumed he had it all and held himself in high esteem with his hilarious radio show but he was tormented at times with self doubt and anxiety. The first part of the book is hilarious, laugh out loud funny, then the mediation and mindfullness bit is actually really helpful. He gives some simple tools when we face our demons and hard times. Even acknowledging that thoughts are simply thoughts! I found it surprisingly helpful. It's nice when someone in the public eye acknowledges that they don't have it all figured out either. A thumbs up from me Dermot 👍
I really enjoyed reading this book, it makes meditation so relatable and a no-brainer (pun intended!). Dermot offers a common-sense and humour laden approach to getting started with meditation by sharing how & why meditation changed his life path.
He describes the scientifically proven benefits of mediation and provides a menu of different types, as well as a helping hand on how to get started and how to get your meditation practice to stick. I tried for years on & off without success, but after reading this book, it is finally sticking for me.
An easy read & an even better gateway into meditation.
I loved this book. Great advice and useable techniques and written in a wonderful witty way. Introduced to Om Mani Padme Hum mantra meditation that really works for me. Thank you, may you be well and happy.
I really enjoyed this book, its mindfulness in an everyday kind of way. None of the bull you see celebs on instagram talking about, its real ways of people coping with stress and life in a way that you can actually do.
