One-Minute Mindfulness: 50 Simple Ways To Find Peace, Clarity, And New Possibilities In A Stressed-Out World (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Is life hectic for you? Do you make excuses why you can't get your life in order or feel like you have no time?It's our responsibility to take control of our own lives. Psychotherapist and former Buddhist monk Donald Altman gives readers an easy guide to understanding how to come to mindfulness in 5 areas of our life; Home and Play, Work and Creativity, Relationships and Love, Health and Well Being, Spirituality and Contemplation. If at a mere 168 pages you can't take the time to read this and implement 50 simple things that will help you feel better; than I'm not sure what will. There is power and peace in finding clarity. Maybe we should introduce these concepts to our children while they are in elementary school; since they will become the leaders of the world. Loved it and more importantly will begin doing these things immediately. In One Minute Mindfulness, David Altman talks about how in our stressed out lives with work, relationships and our daily responsibilities, etc., many of us tend go into automatic pilot mode. This book provides positive and insightful guidance on how to take just one minute of your time each day to center and build awareness of your thoughts and actions. Each section of the book provides simple, straight forward exercises. This is not a life changing read, but is a great reminder to all of us to pull ourselves out of automatic pilot mode and become more aware of our thoughts and actions – basic message; be kind to yourself and others, find gratitude with each day.

May be one minute mindfulness but the mindfulness sections take longer to read prior.

Very interesting, although not what I was expecting from the title.
—Manica
I found this book overbearing, condesending and very judgmental.

Lots of ideas to ponder about how to be more in the moment.
