Learn to live deliberately through the practice of mindfulness. A simple and easy way to teach yourself to live in the moment. Having used the techniques described in his book on a regular basis for over 40 years I have found that the techniques described in his book work and help you control your mind by mindfulness awareness. Live. In the moment, learn to live deliberately. - - Goodreads [goodreads.com]_This is a nice collection of practical mindfulness skills and strategies for every day use. The author notes many references at the end of the book, which is a plus if you want to expand on your exploration. It is an easy read for anyone who is interested in learning more about mindfulness, meditation, and intentional ways to change your life. - - Goodreads [goodreads.com]_Johns style is casual but direct. He doesn't waste time with too many examples and long winded stories of how mindfulness has affected others. He just tells you the facts and how to use it day to day to improve your life little by little. This was an enjoyable and informative read that I have taken much from and have already started to notice a difference in my view of things. I would recommend this book to anyone who is struggling to find what all the fuss is about when it comes to mindfulness. - - Goodreads [goodreads.com]
Indeed, I can honestly say and mean this: Although the author John Burley knows his stuff, he knows enough to repeat what works, and keep originality and creativeness to stem from what works, and not have an irrational "I know the way totally, follow me" approach to his philosophy and practice. - - Amazon US Review
Several times I've tried to read books about mindfulness and have given up owing to the "heavy going" content and the pressure of have to add another activity into my life, i.e. Meditation. This book has enabled me to incorporate mindfulness into my life without any fuss. It's an easy and straightforward read which simplifies the subject completely. I've finally able to include mindfulness as part of my everyday life. -- Amazon UK Review
