Inhale, Exhale, Repeat: A Mindfulness Handbook for Every Part of Your Day

by Emma Mills

We're all living faster, working harder, and often so busy we forget to take a moment to sit back, close our eyes, and just breathe. Yet this hectic lifestyle can get us down, making us lethargic, stressed, and burned out. So how do we break the cycle? Inspired by traditional Eastern lessons of meditation and mindfulness, neuroscience, and insights from literature, Emma Mills offers fresh and simple tools to keep our minds healthy, from that early morning coffee through to the moment we climb into bed, without having to invest in expensive detox courses or far-flung retreats. She guides the reader through the course of a single day, with easy tips, meditations, recipes, literary recommendations, and practical takeaways that can be completed in a matter of minutes. So just inhale, exhale, and repeat--and let a sense of calm and focus transform your day.

[Eira Rangel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Me gustó cómo divide en categorías el estar mindful en distintas partes de tu rutina diaria o para diferentes situaciones. Te da ideas de cómo conectar más con el momento, disfrutar las cosas, no vivir aceleradamente y se me hizo interesante cómo enseña diferentes técnicas de meditación.

Le puse 3 porque a pesar de estar muy bien estructurado, el contenido se vuelve repetitivo y algo aburrido conforme avanzas.

Es un libro que puede tomarse de consulta, abrir en cualquier página y hacer un ejercicio de mindfulness. Dejé marcados los que más me gustaron y los que quiero probar en un futuro, porque puedes tomar de él lo que te sirva y se acomode a tu rutina.

Es una buena guía para comenzar con este tema y seguiré consultándolo.

This book was a nice read about mindfulness and being attentive in every day life. I liked a lot of the content of this book, such as the meditations and ideas about life. However, it’s clearly written for middle-class people, rich people or whatever you want to call it. Some work on inclusivity would have made this book even better. Most people don’t have a porch to sit on or a bathtub to soak in... Yet, I liked the book and the idea. Definitely worth a read.

This book is for those who don't know what mindfulness is and are looking to start. It is formatted to be easy to read with a great font and well thought-out sections.

If you already mediate there is nothing here that you don't already know. In fact the author often suggests exercises in contemplation and concentration and mistakenly calls it meditation.

I won this book with the goodreads giveaways.
