The Art of Living Consciously: The Power of Awareness to Transform Everyday Life de Nathaniel Branden

The Art of Living Consciously: The Power of Awareness to Transform Everyday Life

Autor Nathaniel Branden
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 noi 1999
In THE ART OF LIVING CONSCIOUSLY, Nathaniel Branden enters new territory, exploring the practice of mindfulness and its power to influence our intentions, actions, values, and goals. Becoming more conscious of ourselves and the world around us in any situation, he argues, opens our eyes to the possibilites and options we otherwise miss. Illuminating the positive action of mindfulness on our careers, our search for romantic love, and our pursuit of personal and spiritual development, Branden encourages readers to rethink their beliefs about everyday activities, morality, mortality, and God. Like his groundbreaking work on self-esteem, Branden's insights into living consciously provide essential guidelines for making the most of ourselves in every aspect of our lives.
