A glorious little handbag-sized book that is a handy guide to any newbie meditator venturing into the, often complicated, world of mindfulness. To some, the term mindfulness can be quite daunting as its meaning is not always easy to determine, but Jane and James explain all in an accessible and conversational tone. With easy, practical exercises and bite-sized explanations, this book is for anyone interested in starting their journey into mindfulness. The book itself is beautifully designed, with a bold and varying format, which makes each turn of the page a new and unexpected delight. In fact, the only drawback to this gorgeous little blue breath-of- fresh- air, is that the text can at times become slightly too small. But if this wouldn't affect you in a huge way, it is well worth persevering until the end.

We think our future is shaped by big events - the decisions we make, the thoughts we have - but this book will show that it is our daily actions, the things we repeatedly do, that are the key. Repeat an action enough times and it will become a habit, but habits lack thought, consideration and presence. To ensure long-lasting, meaningful change our actions need to be filled with a sense of personal meaning, purpose and power - they need to be ritualized.
Creating personal ritual in our lives allows us to bring the presence of the sacred into the everyday. The rituals in this book have been created and designed as symbolic acts providing a framework for anyone to use to create positive change in their lives. The 7 morning rituals are designed to help you 'wake with determination'; the 7 afternoon rituals focus on 'living on purpose'; and the 7 evening rituals focus on 'retiring with satisfaction'.

This new book from a leading name in the field continues her philosophy on finding freedom in a world of suffering. As someone who reached the depths before turning it around and developing a new way of being, she now addresses the importance of generosity. It is structured around the Diamond Sutra, one of the world’s great spiritual texts. She says spiritual texts describe the ‘what’ but self-enquiry, which she calls the Work, is the ‘how’. This Work has four questions, which are tools for powerful self-realization. For those familiar with Byron Katie this substantial book offers ample opportunity for further development.
