Savor: Mindful Eating, Mindful Life by Thích Nhất Hạnh
3.0

“As you will see, mindfulness practice does not need to be another “add-on.” Its beauty lies in the fact that it can be fully and easily integrated into every act of our daily living, reminding us to live the present moment fully.”

This was my morning contemplative read after finishing The Miracle of Mindfulness and I have to say – it wasn’t super helpful. Many of the mindfulness exercises were also included in the previous book so a lot of the Buddhist perspective felt repetitive. And the health perspective was common sense information that most of us are familiar with. And still – the reminders are all helpful and – hopefully – I can finally start the process of mindful eating! I’ll be leaving this in my nearby Little Free Library for a neighbor to find.
