Saturday, April 14, 4 p.m.— On Saturday, April 14 at 4 p.m., Phoenix Books Rutland will host Arnie Kozak, Ph.D., for a discussion of his new book, “Timeless Truths for Modern Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to a More Focused and Quiet Mind.”
Mindfulness – focusing on the present moment while accepting your feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations – is growing in popularity. One can find apps, online courses, and articles on the subject. Businesses like Google are incorporating the practice at work, resulting in lower stress levels, less frustration, fewer sick days, and less burnout. Health centers at universities are getting in on the act too, helping overly-stressed students find relief. This basic guide to mindfulness is geared toward the curious, the beginner, and the person looking for real help with the burdens of modern life. This handy guide tells everything needed to know to get rid of stress and gain newfound peace: how mindfulness works, how to practice it, and how to apply it in daily life. Along with explanations of mindfulness, each chapter includes a unique guided meditation and a timeless truth that will guide the reader to deal with obstacles to practicing mindfulness, living with wisdom, and how to create unconditional happiness through mindfulness.
Arnie Kozak, Ph.D., is a psychotherapist, clinical assistant professor in psychiatry at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, and workshop leader at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies and the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. He is the author of “Wild Chickens and Petty Tyrants: 108 Metaphors for Mindfulness,” “The Everything Guide to the Introvert Edge,” “The Everything Essential Buddhism Book,” and “Mindfulness A to Z: 108 Insights for Awakening Now.”
