Review: Worth a read - Bought as a gift, but ended up keeping it as I like to dip back into it every now & again
Review: Still your mind - useful advice! - This is not exactly a manual of how to go about things but a wonderful introduction to mindfulness (of which I knew very little, hence my curiosity and interest to read it) which made me reappraise a number of things about how to be in the world and how to try and manage a wondering mind which only stops you being who you want actually to be and how you actually want to act in the world - something I had not really considered and that makes much sense. The writing style is curiously simple, even apparently simplistic at times, and I wonder if this is a result of it being a translation from the Japanese or if the author was in fact aiming for a totally unpretentious, even mundane outlook to what are in reality rather deep, even difficult, concerns. The result of this is the accessibility of the concepts and how one does not feel (at least I did not!) patronised, but just shown a number of techniques and approaches one may wish to adopt. I have not regretted reading this book, on the contrary, and I am trying to put some of its advice into practice. Many thanks to Penguin via NetGalley for a copy to read and review.
