When reading spiritual self help books, I have often found myself wondering how people find the time to meditate for two or three hours a day. I am in absolute awe of their self-discipline but I don’t even get to go to the bathroom alone without a little one following me in. I can’t imagine that I’d even need stress relief if I had two hours (even one hour) of regular mediation.

Over the years, so many people have said to me, “Oh, I can’t possibly do meditation or mindfulness or any of that stuff! I don’t have the time!” When 20 minutes a day was mentioned for meditation practice, they balked. When I suggested a mere five minutes, they balked again. And I get it. I’m busy too. I don’t meditate as often or as long as I would like to and I forget to be mindful as much as anyone else. So when I saw the title “One-Minute Mindfulness: 50 Simple Ways to Find Peace, Clarity, a...more
In One Minute Mindfulness, David Altman talks about how in our stressed out lives with work, relationships and our daily responsibilities, etc., many of us tend go into automatic pilot mode. This book provides positive and insightful guidance on how to take just one minute of your time each day to center and build awareness of your thoughts and actions. Each section of the book provides simple, straight forward exercises. This is not a life changing read, but is a great reminder to all of us to...more
Highly accessible book organized by themes: home, play, work, relationships, health, and more. The excerpts are short 2-3 pages essays with a practice exercise concluding each one. Gentle in tone, the messages seem to be a blend of what you might hear in a counseling session or from a Buddhist practitioner, or just a good friend. Could easily be used daily as a devotional. Calming to read.
May be one minute mindfulness but the mindfulness sections take longer to read prior.
I found this book overbearing, condesending and very judgmental.
Happy book, easy read.
Fifty simple ways to achieve mindfulness. Easy to read and concise a great read for pratical tips to calm the mind.
Very interesting, although not what I was expecting from the title.
Some very excellent ideas in this book. Mr Altman wrote 50 chapters, each under two pages, with a practice session at the end. Chapters are grouped in sections such as home & play, work & creativity, and health & well-being. I think trying even just a few of things would give someone a new attitude.
Definitely made you think from a different perspective and brought up a lot of things that I've been hiding over the years! Made tons of notes and will continue to use the techniques that were suggested!
