Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 The idea that mindfulness is better than chocolate is based on research that shows we’re happiest when our minds are not wandering. This means that we’re not thinking about what we’re doing 47 percent of the time.

#2 Mindfulness is the ability to be present in the present moment and non-judgmentally. It is a foundation practice that has been adopted by many different types of professionals. Meditation, on the other hand, is the practice of being mindful of a specific object for a sustained period of time.

#3 The real treasure of mindfulness is its transformative power. When people are given the tools to observe the true nature of their own minds for themselves, they can never go back to their former innocence.

#4 I’m a regular middle-aged corporate consultant with many personal, business, and financial responsibilities. I have found in meditation and mindfulness practices that have transformed my experience of reality dramatically for the better.
