By Jijnasu Forever Without any reliance on overly religious constructs, Bays provides a collection of exercises that will force a reader to reevaluate one's degree of engagement with oneself and the surroundings and improve one's mindfulness - the ability to be engaged without being critical or judgmental. (Review based on a review copy via NetGalley and adapted from my blog)Not surprisingly, the core message is similar to other Eastern thoughts - for example, Krishnamurti's "being engaged, but not attached". What Bays is able to accomplish in this book is to interpret rigorous philosophy, frame it using psychological studies and provide an actionable exercise with clear instructions on what to observe and anticipated impacts. In that sense, this book is deceptively simple - it can come across as an oversimplification of the mindfulness discipline but after practicing 4 exercises chosen from the book, its profoundness in simplicity is remarkable.Bays provides a series of 52 exercises (one for each week) for improving one's mindfulness. Each chapter provides a short description of the exercise itself, the philosophical underpinnings, observations from those who practiced that exercise, and a 'deeper' interpretation ("what does this exercise really mean?"). The succinctness of each chapter is matched only by its simplicity. A reader will be tempted to be working on more than one exercise at a time...I think it is worthwhile to spend an entire week devoted to just one exercise - thereby achieving a degree of patience training as a bonus. For those more inclined to Eastern philosophy, pairing the exercise with a daily thought exercise based on Krishnamurthi's Book of Life is a good way to structure one's experiment with the exercises.The exercises are not necessarily organized by any themes (perhaps intentionally), Whether they are in the form of breathing exercises (where the similarities with the Pranayama (yoga) is striking, though one shouldn't be surprised) or exercises associated with eating, or those geared towards increasing our field of vision and sensation.. each exercise provides a very subtle nudge for behavior modification - all, with the intent to increase awareness. These exercises are not very abstract either. For example, the very first one that aims to increase our awareness of our less dominant hand is quite fun to try out (in fact with Wii Sports and other games, this is an exercise which can actually use technology to observe one's behavior without any bias - the disparities in scores using my right and left hands decreased in a week's time... but, the exercise achieved its purpose - increase awareness of how for-granted I took the other hand...). Most exercises are structured in a way where one can easily quantify the impact.Whether you are a novice to the mindfulness discipline or looking to enhance your meditation aptitude, or discover new ideas to improve one's awareness, this book will not disappoint. It is not intended to be an introduction to mindfulness - but an intermediate level practice guide for someone familiar with the concepts. On the other hand, Bays is also likely to inspire a reader to be more curious on the discipline. For the price of a few lattes, this book can potentially change the way you relate to yourself and your surroundings. One can't assign a value for that opportunity. A must read. (5*)

A Worthwhile Mindfulness Guide By Don I write mindfulness books myself, and what I love about this book is that I can open it up anywhere and find a valuable mindfulness practice. Each chapter is short and to the point, which suits the material. There's a lot more in each chapter then meets the eye--meaning that you could easily devote entire week to each subject. Actually, Chozen Bays' own monastery uses each of the practices included here one week at a time. I like reading one a day as a centering practice. This book is for those who are new to mindfulness, as well as for those with an ongoing practice. Highly recommended!
17 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Lets hope this elephant never forgets! By Wonderlust I loved the book!. I started "the leaving no trace project" that project alone got me on track. Everyone needs to read this book. It is more than a self help book, it truly can change your life one little step at a time. All you need to do is get on the path, stay on it, and never look back. I would highly recommend this book especially for senior citizens who are trying to decide whether to stay in their own homes or go into "assisted living." My advice: get rid of the clutter, take one baby step at a time, downsize everything, maybe get a like minded room mate and stay in your own humble little abode. Keep life simple.Rosa McCurdy 81 year old former wild elephant loving life and keeping a neat home on my own!
