Publisher's Synopsis
Drawing on the Buddhist tradition, The Art of Being Decent is full of entertaining and useful advice on everyday mindfulness, from the Chief Spiritual Officer at MNDFL.
We live in difficult times. When you're stressed out it's hard to practice self-care let alone be mindful of the people around you. But being selfish, angry or downright rude isn't going to make you a happier person. And it isn't going to help make the world a better place.
The Art of Being Decent is a practical guide to a more mindful relationship with your everyday activities. It's about dealing with the way things are, rather than melting down because they're not how you think they should be. Using simple mindful techniques taken from the Buddhist tradition, learn how to stay calm in everyday scenarios: from remaining gracious when a waiter delivers the wrong food to keeping your cool when someone cuts in front of you in a queue.
A roadmap for being a kind, compassionate and decent person, this is a little book about being less insulted by the world, and less insulting to the world.
