More about the release

A tiny book of big questions, unconventional lessons and mini meditations on discovering mindfulness, magic and mojo in everyday life. Featuring a short collection of essays on cultivating courage, compassion, curiosity and connection to ourselves, and each other, in a world gone mad.

What does the world look like when you sneak a peak through someone else's eyes? I've often tried this practice in my own life, walking around and about in the world....trying to visualize what it is that someone else sees in the same places and spaces we share together, if only for a moment.

For me, it helps break the monotony of my own inner experience, which is usually a meandering, mindless re-capitulation of the same selfish concerns, worries, fears, phobias, anxieties and the endless stories I tell myself, about myself, and the others who appear in the movie of my life.

When I'm conscious of it - and I do this practice with persistence and intention - seeing the world, if only for a moment, through someone else's eyes is one of most transformative form of mindfulness there is.

How can the practice of Mettā (or loving kindness meditation) radically reconfigure how we see each other, and ourselves?

Can we cultivate a deep well of compassion and connection for complete for strangers - so much so that it transforms our relationship to ourselves......without them ever even knowing?

How can the mindfulness of beginnings and endings allow us to deepen our most cherished relationships - and allow us to truly, often for the first time, understand the real power of NOW (without bad cliches and silly social media memes that may look good with a hashtag, but no one really practices in every day life)
