Whether we like it or not, a large part of our thinking is wasteful- be it guilt, fear, anxiety or stress. This drains our energy and hinders our decision-making. ‘Mindfulness’ is an eye-opening take on how to reclaim your time and stay in the moment, illustrated with metaphors derived from cinema, theatre, magic and other stories.
Through the book, we learn to recognize and cut down on thoughts that are unproductive. We also learn to investigate the process of self-deception- becoming more self-aware in the process. Not reheated fixes for our existential woes, this book serves as a guide for intelligent readers and urban professionals to focus and practice mindfulness. And through it, we stand to develop skills on time management that lead to personal growth, necessary for an optimal life experience.
