Publisher's Synopsis
The chronic stress of our frantic lives is literally killing us. We are overbooked, overworked, and overwhelmed. We have lost our way in a maze of smart phones, endless tech devices, frantic schedules, and endless obligations.We don't get enough sleep. We eat too many meals on the run. We don't spend enough time with our children and the people we love. We find ourselves being "swept away" by the current of our thoughts, feelings, worries, fears, and stresses. We have lost our capacity to celebrate the simple and the ordinary.We are creating the demise of ourselves, those we love, and potentially of our planet by living "mindlessly." You can wake up from this hectic trance and discover Mindful Living Everyday(R). Mindful Living(R) is not just one tool, like meditation, but a toolbox of interrelated tools.
