This was very inspiring! As a naturopathic doctor I’ve read and heard ad nauseum about the benefits of mindfulness and meditation–of course it’s true, but it’s not easy for a lot of people in our modern world to practice. I’ve had to struggle myself to do 5 minute meditations here and there when I feel I need it, and while I do feel it’s done me a lot of good, I love the fact that this is an accessible approach to achieving something quite similar, that happens to be available even to those who struggle to calm their “monkey minds,” or who are in pain, or exhausted, or otherwise incapable of the discipline required for meditation. In less than a minute, we can experience awe just by fully focusing our attention and admiration on something outside of ourselves, breathing in deeply, holding it and our focus, and then breathing out. I’ve been practicing this myself since reading the book, and I do feel that it will be very beneficial if I can make it a habit. I’ve felt I needed to get better at being fully present in the moment for some time now, noticing my surroundings.

Even though the practice can be described in a sentence, though, I still think the book is well worth a read. It gives the studies to back it up, inspiring personal stories, and guidance on how to choose what to fix your attention on, from things outside of yourself, to an idea or a memory, a sound or a smell or a taste. It’s a great guide for those who need help getting started.
