Publisher's Synopsis
Be calm. Stop stressing. Embrace the universe. Try yoga. Be fulfilled - and that's an order! We hear these commands everywhere, and we often torture ourselves to try harder, yet somehow we never feel we've done quite enough. It's about time we stopped feeling guilty for not being perfect, and instead simply allowed ourselves to be angry, be tired, be silly, be passionate - to stop caring too much and just be. This title explains why the key to true mindfulness is freeing ourselves from social and often self-imposed stresses - and highlights how we can embrace life more fully by giving ourselves a break.
