Praise for Living in the Moment
by Anna Black
"I love the sensibility of it... that living mindfully is very much
the ordinary moments between 'practice' and engaging skillfully with
'dead' time, holding on the phone, standing in the bank, those as
anchors in any day. The illustrations are also beautiful. Rosalie Dores, Mindfulness Teacher
"A patient of mine recently showed me your book, Living in the
Moment, which I found to be beautifully presented and simple in
approach. I have for many years used Jon Kabat-Zin's Wherever You Go
There You Are as a good reference for people.
On reading your book I would like to refer people to it also as it has
great appeal. I think it holds the mindfulness message in a most
accessible and understandable way for people struggling with applying
the principles. Particularly when diagnosed with a life threatening
illness." Prue Fairlie, Palliative Counsellor and mindfulness teacher
"Living in the Moment is a gorgeous looking book, beautifully
illustrated, with loads of ideas for using mindfulness at any time of
the day. It is welcome change from the other books out there involving
8-week courses, a lot of reading and 30 minute meditations - although
these are all well worth reading ... And even if you have read these books, done the courses,
have established a daily practice, this book supplements that and
brings something new.
What sets this book apart is that it is a
book you can dip into, choose a practice that attracts you, and it a
very attractive book, and then TRY IT. Yes, it may be a book to dip
into but it offers so much more than the 'little books' I love such as
Jon Kabat-Zinn's 'Arriving at Your Own Door: 108 Lessons in Mindfulness and Jack Kornfield's Buddha's Little Instruction Book with only a line or two on each page. This book teaches mindfulness in a simple and very accessible way.
Living
in the Moment is for those who have experienced mindfulness and want
something new but also for those who know nothing about it. It's a very
attractive book with a quirky font and simple but effective
illustrations on every page. It makes a lovely gift and I have already
ordered 2 for friends - to give them the gift of mindfulness." Zed (Amazon review)
"There are a large number of books being written on mindfulness. Some of
these books are very similar, and reflect the current new interest in
the subject. This book is a good introduction and is written in a very
informative manner that shows the sensitivity of the author. For me it
is one of the best introductions to the subject,and has some important
points to make. Well worth the read and a good pointer for refining
practice and the development of a new way of being. Thoroughly
recommend." Mr P Stanford (Amazon review)
"I have bought many mindfulness books during the last few years, and I
must say that this book is the most practical and nice one so far! The
suggestions how to practise mindfulness are practical, innovative and
very easy to follow, and one can immediately see that the writer has a
good practical knowledge of mindfulness. First I thought that the way
some of the text has been enlarged is disturbing, but when I started
underlining some important parts of the text, I noticed that the
enlarged text was just what I would have underlined, so not a bad thing
then! Personal and somewhat rough drawings were nice addition in the
book, too. This is an especially good book for young people, for someone
who wants to get to know basics of mindfulness in an
easy-to-read-and-follow manner, and also it is very interesting for
somebody who has already practised mindfulness for some time. Paperback
format and relatively compact size make it easy to carry. I recommend
this warmly into your library of mindfulness books or as a first or only
one" Leena Kahari (Amazon review)
"This book was presented in a way that makes you want to read It gives you positive ways to improve your life and actual exercises to do instead of just talking about it .This is a book for people who take little time for themselves and by reading this you have to find time! Mrs S. G. Nowak (Amazon review)
