I really enjoyed this book. Easy beginners guide to meditation. Short 5-10 min sessions, so nothing overwhelming. I use the techniques as often as I remember. Really useful when you find yourself getting impatient in queues, anxious in traffic, unsettled in waiting rooms or supermarkets or stressed-out at any time in any way. It's all about being kind to yourself; being more aware of the present moment; mindfully listening, eating, walking, speaking. It's a gentle message and a necessary time-out.
