The Zen Habits Beginner's Guide to Mindfulness - Paperback

by Leo Babauta (Author)

A book about training your mind. And shifting your focus. And dealing with struggles. And changing your habits. It shows how mindfulness is the key to changing everything in your life. And it helps you train to use mindfulness to deal with any difficulty you face. This short book includes exercises that will teach you what you need to know to start mastering the basic concepts of mindfulness.

The author writes: "I've written this for absolute or near beginners, who would like to bring mindfulness into their lives . . . or who are struggling with:

- Procrastination

- Creating better habits

- Frustration, disappointment, feeling stuck

- Relationship problems

- Being content

"I've found that mindfulness is the fundamental skill to deal with any of these struggles. And in this short book-which you can read in one sitting if you feel like it-I not only talk about why this is true, but I also share some simple exercises for developing the skills to deal with any of these struggles.

"I don't promise miracles, and you'll have to do the exercises to get decent at these skills. But they work, in my experience, and I hope they help you."
