- Synopsis
- &“Rigorous and playful . . . an excellent perspective on the &‘why&’ and the &‘how&’ of mindfulness practice. This book is better than chocolate!&” —Tal Ben-Shahar, New York Times–bestselling author of Happier Distractions are everywhere. Our thoughts drift to what we need to do tomorrow or what went wrong yesterday. Even pleasurable things—like eating chocolate—don&’t receive our full attention. As a result, we miss out on joy that is easily within reach. Drawing on both Buddhist teachings and contemporary science, David Michie teaches us how to experience a mind free of stress and dullness and gives us the tools to rewire our brains for happiness. &“Mindfulness&” is paying attention to the present moment, deliberately and nonjudgmentally—and those who practice it experience a wealth of benefits: ·Reduced stress ·Stronger immune systems ·More ease in breaking bad habits ·Improved self-esteem ·Enhanced mental clarity ·Sharper memory ·Overall well-being ·and better-tasting chocolate! &“Full of great advice relevant to most people&’s lives, with a constant undercurrent of humor.&” —NOVA Magazine
