books about: mindfulness     books:       Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness: Walking the Buddha's Path20 reviews Henepola Gunaratana Wisdom Publications, 2001 Excellent very approachable material, inspiring Mindfulness and loving kindness are a couple of great approaches to living advocated by these ancient teachings made into cakewalk reading. When I go back to older more traditional interpretations they feel stiff and inhospitable. For the secular reader especially I think this makes for a pleasantly palatable on ramp to Buddhism.             Mindfulness in Plain English86 reviews Henepola Gunaratana Wisdom Publications, 1994 Zen and Wonderful A very zen approach to becoming more mindful and thereby becoming more meditative and spiritual about every day miracles. This book hit all the high notes with me.             True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart21 reviews Thich Nhat Hanh Shambhala, 2004 A mini version of "A New Earth" The copyright of this book is 1997. Eckart Tolle's book "A New Earth" came out in 2005... 8 years later. This book is like the pocket book for "A New Earth". Eckart Tolle goes into greater dept in his book on the same topics that are mentioned in Thick Nhat Hanh's book. "True Love" gets right to the heart of awakening the heart. I especially enjoyed the chapters on The Energy of Mindfulness, ...             Becoming Auma: a novel inspired by true events61 reviews Melinda Geaumont BookSurge Publishing, 2007 A Must Read! What a wonderful book....you will enjoy it from page one and not put it down. An exceptional look at true friendship and everyday life, and the power of laughter. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy.             One Breath at a Time: Buddhism and the Twelve Steps24 reviews Kevin Griffin Rodale Books, 2004 A perfect synthesis This book does a fantastic job of demonstrating the synergies of working a 12 step program and buddhist practice. I think it would be valuable for anyone who is still uncomfortable with the Christian overtones of the 12 steps as it explains their origin and how to work them in relation to higher power of your own understanding.             The Happiness Trap: How to Stop Struggling and Start Living18 reviews Russ Harris Trumpeter, 2008 The end of all self-help It took me a long time to get through this book. I had it sitting on the shelf amongst several other self-help titles, and when I reached certain portions of the book I found myself bored or disinterested in taking the kind of actions suggested, so I moved to another title. I later realized that by doing so I was exercising my own 'control strategies' as Russ puts it, which really didn't do ...             Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life82 reviews Thich Nhat Hanh Bantam, 1992 Every word makes every day better Every word that Thai has written brings more and more clarity. This is one I will read again and again.             Attachment in Psychotherapy19 reviews David J. Wallin The Guilford Press, 2007 Skillful integration David Wallin presents a skillful integration of the road maps of attachment theory, intersubjectivity, neuroscience and mindfulness to help readers develop a Wise Understanding of the journey from a wounded "me" to a healthy "I" to experiencing an awareness beyond the personal self that we could call the realm of the Wise Self.             The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself (New Harbinger/Noetic Books)44 reviews Michael A. Singer New Harbinger Publications/ Noetic Books, 2007 Thank You Sir I've read my share of spiritual guidance; from D.T. Suzuki, right on up through Eckhardt Tolle, and I've also sat before a number of today's popular teachers. There is nothing else like this to be found.

He is offering the ...             The Three Questions57 reviews Jon J. Muth Scholastic Press, 2002 Excellent learning experience. This book is a beautifully illustrated journey that explores life questions in a way that is magic for the reader of any age.             Mindfulness for Beginners9 reviews Jon Kabat-Zinn Sounds True, 2006 Life changing I have been lucky enough to take two Mindfulness courses and they have changed my life. Both were run by excellent course leaders but nothing compares with hearing Mindfulness founder Jon Kabat Zinn discuss the philosophy and methodology behind it. His wit, compassion and way with words themselves make CD1 compulsive listening as well as explaining the reasons for CD2 which are the practices ...             Eastern Wisdom for Your Soul8 reviews Richard A. Singer Dreamriver Press, 2007 More a Manual for Daily Enlightenment than a Book on Philosophy Richard A. Singer is a highly respected psychotherapist who has devoted his life to understanding Eastern psychology/philosophy: he has also committed his time to writing books on his personal discoveries and shares his thoughts not as a 'Guru or Sage', but as a warmly friend guide to bring the secrets of Eastern wisdom to the public. EASTERN WISDOM FOR YOUR SOUL is, then, less a course in ...             The Wise Heart: A Guide to the Universal Teachings of Buddhist Psychology14 reviews Jack Kornfield Bantam, 2008 A Wise Heart I purchased The Wise Heart in June of 2008. I read many of this type of book but this wise heart has caught me like no other. It is an easy read but I have not yet finished it and this is August. I have found that I must pause and think after each chapter. I often can't make it through the entire chapter before I am in the midst of a new realization.

I was moved by Victoria's witty observations of life and her findings about what makes us fat, broke and lonely. No, it's not the food we eat, although that is important for good health. It's not willpower, although you can use what little you have of that commodity to make small changes each day. It's not having ...             Insight Meditation: The Practice of Freedom14 reviews Joseph Goldstein Shambhala, 2003 Best introduction to mindfulness available This book is not a how-to-meditate introduction, but rather a why-we-meditate introduction.

It is inspiring and full of the energy of mindfulness we all need ...             The Practicing Mind: Bringing Discipline and Focus Into Your Life11 reviews Thomas M. Sterner Mountain Sage Publishing, 2006 Your Last Self Help Book?
