Synopsis

If mindfulness were a pill, we should all be taking it.’—Anonymous The mindfulness practice based on Buddha’s teachings is known to help navigate difficult relationships, make difficult choices and manage difficult emotions. What is not commonly known is that it is much more than ‘living in the present’ as popularised in the West. Get Mindfulness Right helps us understand why the practice is incomplete without following its three other critical aspects—non-attachment, core values and compassion as inferred from the foundational discourse on mindfulness. This groundbreaking work debunks many popular myths about mindfulness and shows how to practise it through various time tested meditation techniques and exercises.
