I highly recommend this book to the entire human race!

So you're a human... You want to learn to be more at peace, have less stress in your life, be more alive, enjoy life more, be more loving to the wife or kids... etc....

This is the book to read.

Even if you don't want to sit and meditate every day or every other day you should read this book. It shows how you can "meditate" while doing every day tasks like washing dishes or cleaning the house or just walking to the bathroom, etc...

And why is this important? Because it helps you get in touch with the Now moment, to live fully in the Present. And that is what this book is about, and what will make your life better.

This book is great! I don't know what happened between this and his book "Coming To Our Senses", but the other book is very wordy, very incohesive, and generally not that good. THIS book, however, is a gem, and I truly wish I could get all my friends and family members to at least read it.

But they will not, and I suppose that is only fitting, as one has to come to something like this on one's own. You are reading this review. That means you are ready. You won't find a better book on the hows and whys of meditation and mindfulness. And you won't find a better way to reduce stress and come alive and be more at peace within yourself and in the world.

Great Book

I am enjoying this book very much. It was recomended to me by a friend. She has been reading it for several years. It is a great book to refer back to when your mind becomes muddled with the everyday stress of living>

Nothing New

I brought this book after hear Jon on an Australian radio program and really liked hearing him speak. I've been meditating for about 20 years and usually practice most morning. I've read a lot of books on the subject and have visited Ashrams and studied Yoga in India on my travels. If you are new to the subject them I would recommend this book as Jon has a lot of useful and interesting things to say. If you have been doing meditation for a number of years then you will not really learn anything new. I don't want to sound arrogant but I've read most of what he has to say in other books. Meditation is basically just being in the moment. Just focusing on one thing, either an object, breath or mantra. If you are new to meditation it may be worth trying a few different styles of meditation to see what is best suited to you as we are all unique. What maybe good for one person will not necessary be good for someone else. I would also recommend reading other books on the topic. After you have read a few books they all basically say the same thing, "Just focus on the moment"

Real lessons start on the back cover!

You don't need 136, nor 100 of these compelling cases to make a dramatic shift in your outlook. At first sight some of the tips look obviously wrong, such as "Lower your tolerance to stress" or "Allow yourself to be bored". When you read them you'll understand that there is a lot of truth in what Richard has to say

Many are obvious, but how come we don't perform on these as well as we know we should? For instance "Let Others Have the Glory" or "Become a Better Listener". Good reminders and a spur to action? And you've got to have a look at "Just for Fun", "Agree with Criticism Directed Toward You". Overall these tips provide a great menu for improving your life both at home and at work
