Mindfulness

Why read it

• You will catch yourself reacting to cues you did not choose, and begin to make real choices
• You will stop trying to be mindful about everything, and save your attention for what matters
• You will learn a simple habit, making new distinctions, to loosen stuck routines at work and home

Who it is for

• A busy manager who goes through meetings on autopilot
• A person stuck in routines who wants fresh options
• Someone who reacts first and regrets it later
