It may seem silly that it took me a week to read a teeny tiny book, but it is a tiny book full of big ideas. I couldn't just read it in one sitting. Here is the thing, it's a great starter book for mediation. Also very helpful-the videos on the website that go along with the book. The cat in the videos gets five stars in my opinion!!!
Great read. Well done. It really helped me decide where I want to go next with my brand new practice.
