Synopsis

'Brian Draper is Britain's foremost popular spiritual thinker; he has no equals in linking the inner with the political and personal outer. This is a remarkably practical exploration of elusive yet core elements of our existence.' - Oliver James

The beauty of mindfulness is that it's incredibly simple both to 'get' and to practise. And the results - increasingly backed by neuro-scientific evidence - are priceless: calmness and reduced stress, more creativity, greater awareness, compassion. . . And yet there's a danger that mindfulness can be used in a purely consumerist and self-serving way to help people to become better adapted cogs in a still-toxic model of work and life.

Brian Draper challenges us to live not just mindfully but soulfully. Not merely to be less stressed, but to flourish, dynamically and creatively - to be present - through living intentionally and compassionately.

About this title

Review:

Well researched... readable, accessible and user-friendly... I found Soulfulness the ideal treatment for my addiction to smartphones, and possibly to society's focus on a multi-tasking, non-stop working existence. (Families First)

Brian Draper argues in Soulfulness that, beyond learning a few techniques for disconnecting from the real world, we need to learn to live not just mindfully but soulfully. (Church of England Newspaper)

The author challenges us to live not just mindfully, but also soulfully. (Methodist Recorder)
