If you're ready to stop worrying so much and learn to live in the present, then this book is for you!


Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet, or Kindle device.

In today’s hectic and busy world, the idea of being free of worries seems like an impossible fantasy. We have taxes to pay, bills to take care of, a roof to keep over our heads, and the corporate grind to deal with. The alternative is to live in a tent on some isolated island somewhere and forage off the land… though come to think of it, even that comes with its own set of worries, doesn’t it? Of course, in small doses, worrying is not necessarily bad in itself. When it’s a consistent presence filling your life with dread however, then that’s another thing entirely. There’s a vast body of medical evidence proving that constant worrying can lead to a whole host of mental, physical, and psychological problems. The good news is that for those who refuse to accept living in a constant state of anticipation and anxiety, there is a way! And yes, it’s actually doable and it really works. It’s all about living in the present moment and dealing with each situation as it arises. Millions, if not more, have perfected different methods of living in the present moment throughout the centuries — techniques which more and more Americans are discovering and benefitting from. This book distills those methods into simple, easy-to-do exercises which require no special equipment or expense. The only things you need are time, desire, effort, and practice.

  • Change Starts with Your Attitude

I believe that everybody has some regrets in their past. Be it from a traumatic childhood experience, from a broken relationship or some other reason that hampers us from truly living in the present. The book delves into the reason why we are having a hard time moving on. It is an excellent beginner’s guide to understanding the ways of mindfulness and living in the moment. This sort of thinking and or meditation practice is most often associated with Zen Buddhist practices. However, this book puts the practices of meditation and being mindful and appreciating and/or living in the moment into easy to understand language that can then be used to apply this particular set of skills to practice in daily life. This book is designed to help people stop worrying and lessen their stress and appreciate, or at least learn from any given situation. It also give ideas on how you can harness the negative effects and convert it into something positive and through correct mindset, you'll eventually have the courage to pick yourself up and move on.

A simple short book about taking control of our emotions and more importantly shutting negative self talk

If only more individuals would heed the advice found within the chapters of this book, there would be a lot less stress and anxiety in the world. As for me, I am constantly catching myself thinking about the future when in fact I should be living in the moment. We are all rushing our lives by! Time to slow down and smell the roses.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not practical
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2017
I don't believe the author really explained what living in the moment really is. I think it's a discipline that most Americans will never achieve due to the lifestyle of multi tasking and frantic busyness. The author's premise of deep breathing and staring at your thumbnail isn't going to do anything.
I didn't see anything really worthwhile in this book.

Some basic information on breathing correctly and mindfulness which may be useful. However, book is just 40 pages long,and some of those are blank.About the size of a magazine article but the price of a book.
