This practical handbook teaches you how to start and stick to a non-woo-woo, scientifically based, zero-BS meditation habit that you can turn to again and again when life and work gets tough.
Qualified meditation teacher and certified life coach Hannah Jane Thompson has been practicing meditation for over 11 years, after discovering the difference it made to her own life. As an ambitious but chronically anxious journalist, Hannah suppressed all feelings of not being ‘good enough’ until one day she was hit with chronic depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. At her absolute lowest point, she discovered meditation, and it quite literally saved her life. Breath by breath, meditation taught her to stop, breathe, accept who she was, and question those negative thoughts and transform them into something a little more kind, positive, and mindfully productive.
Drawing on her own story, her teaching practice and experiences of her clients, Hannah shows you how to harness the power of meditation. Covering everything from comparison and office politics to body image and relationships, Breathe Like a Badass is your no-BS guide to creating a life-changing, burnout-busting emotional toolbox of your own.
I really liked the way that this book was written! It was really easy to understand and very to the point. A lot of good life advice for all different topics.
I hate that I have to finish a book when I start it.
This is a compilation of her quoting people’s studies and pulling quotes off Pinterest. I sadly won’t get my time back that I had invested in this book and I am happy I’m done it . If I could give it zero stars I would.
It looks a little girlbossy (and some of the language feels that way) but the author advocated for true self care (like resting as opposed to hustle culture) which I appreciated.
