Mindfulness isn't just about sitting around in silence to clear the mind. No, it is about how you live your everyday life. The stories are funny, cute, short, but they bring you to an awareness of options and opportunities you have everyday to become more mindful in everything that you do. The book begins with a great overview of what mindfulness is and why it is beneficial. I find a lot of mindfulness material to be too "woo-woo". Not this book.Each chapter consists of an exercise (use your non-dominate hand, become aware of your posture, pay attention to suffering, become aware of procrastination, look deeply into food) with a detailed description of how to do the exercise follwed by ways to remind yourself. Each chapter has a section on Discoveries which help you to see how the particular exercise can influence you life. Then there is a Deeper Lessons section which take the experience to another level. The chapter closes with some final word of wisdom. All this in 3 pages! I like to use these exercises as opener when I facilitate groups, regardly of the type of group or topic we will be addressing. They provide a nice introduction into being present, in the moment. Working through the exercise for an entire week really does stimulate mindfulness, gratitude and a sense of wholeness. Give it a try. If for no other reason, having a book on your self with this title will draw your or someone elses attention to it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book was recommended to me by a mindfulness instructor as one of ... *by S***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 31, 2016* This book was recommended to me by a mindfulness instructor as one of the best books available on mindfulness. It offers a creative, simple approach to the concept of mindfulness. If you're like me, you're thinking, "I'd like to practice mindfulness, but I don't have the time to add one more thing to my schedule." In a clear and readable introduction, the author defines and explains mindfulness, its benefits, and the misconceptions about it. The fifty-three concise mindfulness exercises provided in this book can easily be incorporated into your day. They are designed to " help [you] be more aware, happy, and at ease within the flow of a busy life." It is suggested that you practice one exercise per week, either in the order presented or skipping around to one you find more appealing in a particular week. The aim is to build your repertoire of mindfulness practices over a year's time until you are living more aware and present to the moments of your life. Each three-page exercise is divided into a one-paragraph description of the exercise, followed by the sections, Reminding Yourself, Discoveries, Deeper Lessons, and Final Words. They provide an and easy and practical approach to learning mindfulness. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Practicing Mindfulness with excellent exercises to try *by S***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 22, 2017* This has hands on exercises to play around with in developing a mindfulness habit in your daily lifestyle. Each chapter is broken up by The Exercise (explaining what it is, briefly), How to Remind Yourself to do the exercise daily, discoveries from her own time doing these at the monastery in Oregon, Deeper Lessons other students have experienced while trying this exercise, and final words, which has a sentence or two to take away from the purpose of this exercise. I have put myself to try one a week, I am on "Filler Words" this week (noticing when you use "filler words" in speech). I have already completed Using Your Non-Dominant Hand and Leave No Trace (reset every space exactly how you found it when you are finished). Strangely enough, these few have also led me to consider how I pick things up or put things down: Do I put things down with a bang or gently place them on the table? They aren't related, but once you start noticing things, it's difficult to STOP noticing things that you do. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/6947482-how-to-train-a-wild-elephant-and-other-adventures-in](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/6947482-how-to-train-a-wild-elephant-and-other-adventures-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
