Reddit reviews You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment

I recently read You Are Here and find myself applying it almost daily. I'm glad to know of a small way to give back some of the kindness.

Thanks for the share.

"Power of Habit" is good for learning how to form habits/reading some anecdotes. Very helpful and illuminating.

Here's a good beginners meditation book that will give you a schedule/few different kinds of meditation to try. Makes it very easy: https://www.amazon.com/Minute-Meditation-Expanded-Quiet-Change/dp/0399173420

Also, if you're more into audio, it might help to try thinking about mindfulness in a different way. For that, I can't recommend Ellen Langer's work on mindfulness enough. This interview on the On Being podcast really helped me think differently. I found her views on life to be contagious: https://www.onbeing.org/programs/ellen-langer-science-of-mindlessness-and-mindfulness/

Last but not least, have you read/listened to Thict Nhat Hanh? This is a very good book. Very good insight on self care and self love, not to mention a fantastic explanation on how you can learn to meditation by practicing throughout the day: https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Here-Discovering-Present/dp/1590308387

I also highly recommend trying to jump into a class at some point - yoga or meditation, either way. It's a change of scenery and will push you in different ways mentally, but also help you see that the experience of consciousness is always your own.

Hope that helps. Keep trying and you'll find something that works.

Make sure you are taking proper vitamins, omega fattys and drinking lots of water to take care of the tiredness... and sleeping 8 hours a night.

I quite enjoyed it. Another decent recommendation (that I've yet to finish cause I'm in the middle of about 6 books) is You Are Here by Thich Nhat Hanh recommended by a friend that was also just discovering Mindfulness.

meditation and read some books on buddhism. there is a lot of good wisdom in those books.

this one is a pretty easy read and provides a lot of interesting things to think about.

"In this book Thich Nhat Hanh, the renowned Zen monk, author, and meditation master, distills the essence of Buddhist thought and practice, emphasizing the power of mindfulness to transform our lives. “Mindfulness is not an evasion or an escape,” he explains. “It means being here, present, and totally alive. It is true freedom—and without this freedom, there is no happiness.” "


worked for me.
