Commonsense Wisdom for Everyday Life

Plenty of books describe and offer steps toward mindfulness, or simply put, awareness of your inner state and surroundings without making judgments about them. All of these reflections are based on everyday experiences and ways you can use them to become more mindful and more peaceful.

Wisdom is a way to stop and smell the roses, hear the birds and see the sunset. It means being aware of who you are and what is going on around you. Sometimes wisdom means noticing delights you might have missed along the way. In this book you will find reflections on each of the following:

I suppose you don't. We are in such a rush now that our days pass in a blur. If you don't care what is going inside or around you, just keep running.
