| Summary: | "This book delves into the deeper, often overlooked purpose of mindfulness, which is about awakening rather than merely stress reduction or lifestyle enhancements. Stemming from teachings of the Buddha 2,500 years ago, mindfulness aims to free individuals from self-centeredness and open them up to boundless compassion. The book suggests thinking of awakening as a journey available to everyone, underpinned by contemporary scientific research over the past three decades into mindfulness and allied practices. It blends ancient insights with evidence-based theory and practice, offering a practical, secular approach to spirituality. By increasing wakefulness, the book offers readers a chance to bring deeper meaning, purpose, and wonder into their everyday lives"-- Provided by publisher. |
