Synopsis

A Self-Help Book that Makes Mindfulness Easy

Mindfulness. Schmindfulness. It’s everyone’s favorite buzzword these days. But what does it really mean for us non-monks who don’t have the luxury of a serene home and a fancy meditation mat? How can we ordinary folks apply mindfulness to our over-scheduled, over-stuffed lives? And why do we even want to?

Running on Empty takes a practical and provocative stance that busts through the myths about mindfulness that get in your way of personal growth and happiness. Readers will learn, among other things:

- How to free oneself from judgment

- Tools for creating the life you really desire

- Tips for mastering work/life balance

- Meditation techniques that work for anyone

- Why Yoga is better for you than yogurt

- How to transform technology from mindless foe to mindful friend

If you want a more balanced and purposeful life, Running on Empty is the self-help book that can jumpstart your journey from boring to boundless.
