SO GOOD
This not only deepened my meditation practice, it also guided my understanding of the ‘big picture' of the mindfulness practice as a way of training the mind to experience the world in a certain way - and encouraged me to seek out the lessons offered by the book through deepening my awareness of experiences.
The practice of being mindful is not isolated to sitting time meditating, but is available to me at any time when I am awake and mindful.
This book is a solid reference point to a practical lifestyle/philosophy. Very accessible. Something I would definitely recommend to anybody interested in deepening an understanding of the roots of their meditation practice. I feel more connected to why I meditate, where the practice originated from and what it means to be a master of the mind.
COOL
This is a truly inspiring and life-changing book. Goldstein has an incredible way of taking deep, ancient teachings and making them feel accessible and practical for everyday life. His insights on mindfulness and the Buddha's path to awakening are both comforting and eye-opening. Whether you're new to meditation or have been practicing for years, this book feels like a warm, wise friend guiding you through the ups and downs of the mind. It's one of those books you keep coming back to for clarity and peace. At the moment, I am reading it for the second time and taking many notes...
I highly recommend this book to everyone.
