"Although at times this book became a little too New Age-y for my taste, it was a great introduction to mindfulness and I think I'm definitely going to try to incorporate the practice into my daily life."

    " Written as a how-to for them to recommend. Covers what it is, meditation, movement, dealing with pain, feeling bad and feeling good. Includes some science and refers to studies. Sections in each chapter - The Science followed by The Art and things to try. "

    " Finished, pretty good, had some moments that seemed quite a scientific reach, I think the whole book could have been half the size. Still worth a read mind you. But please read with a pinch of salt "

    " Very interesting. It is a book on how to meditate. I find I am more mindfully present after having read the book. It is somewhat technical in addition to being informative as to how to be more "present." "
