Modern Mindfulness

How to Be More Relaxed, Focused, and Kind While Living in a Fast, Digital, Always-On World

By: Rohan Gunatillake

Narrated by: Rohan Gunatillake

In Modern Mindfulness, Rohan Gunatillake argues that to lead more mindful, calm and happy lives, switching off is the last thing we need to do. Instead he gives listeners ideas, principles, and techniques to bring awareness, composure, and kindness whatever they are doing. Filled with over sixty practical exercises, the author’s mobile mindfulness approach gives the benefits of meditation to even the busiest of lives.

Ideas from Modern Mindfulness:
- Learn to fade out instead just falling asleep
- Learn to watch TV mindfully (yes, it’s possible!)
- Make mobility part of mindfulness (we’re always on the move!)
- Use technology for good instead of evil (no need to do a digital detox).
- Learn to “whack-a-thought” and stay centered

Very helpful and practical.

I am incurred that I can bring mindfulness into my daily life. I like the focus on bringing mindfulness into daily activities.

Good listen

If you've been curious about mindfulness and want an introduction this book is very helpful. It offers pragmatic methods of incorporating mindfulness into your life.

mindfulness on the go not digital mysticism

modern mindfulness allows The Listener to create their own mindfulness pathway while acknowledging traditional methods coupled with digital modernity no need for incense a cushion or monastic trappings only an attitude that lends itself to a fresh and liberating approach to mindfulness and meditation that's accessible to all

Unexpectedly outstanding

I was a little surprised by how good this book is. The author teaches the reader how to use mindfulness/meditation in everyday life. This includes practice in everyday settings. I have used several of these suggestions to bring my mind back to the present and to slow my brain to the speed of life. I highly recommend this book to anyone needing to be more present.

For newbies

being somebody who has read several books on mindfulness, I've found this book to be kind of boring. However I do think that if you are somebody new to practicing mindfulness and need a step by step guide, this is great!
