Giving up autopilot and living fully, starting from the next moment to be wholly in every moment leads to peace and luxury—but it's harder than it sounds, especially in a world of increased demands that take up so much of our time and attention. How do you practice mindfulness when faced with difficult co-workers, stressful work schedules, or stubborn children? In this book, Donald Altman brings the benefits of mindfulness down to earth and brings them into everyday life. With the help of fifty exercises and practices to build awareness and focus attention, you'll discover how to savor the joys of routine, boost achievement in your work, improve and heal your relationships, change unhealthy habits, and find peace, even in the midst of chaos and confusion. Engage your heart. Engage your mind. Engage your soul. You've heard all this before, but Donald Altman will show.
