Mindfulness for Busy People

You do not need a retreat, a cushion or a 45-minute app streak. You need something that works in the five minutes between the school run and the first meeting, and holds up on the day everything goes wrong.

Mindfulness for Busy People strips mindfulness down to what it is actually for: noticing what is happening before you react to it. Every practice in this book takes five minutes or less and is designed for a real, crowded schedule.
