'We live in such a fast paced world it's easy not to take time to tend to your inner self, but it is necessary to take a moment and be still in mind and body, to be more conscious of the way that we are engaging with the world around us. Using teachings from the Buddhist philosophy, Everyday Enlightenment gives you practical tools to deal with the everyday challenges of being human in our modern society.' - Cameron Diaz

Ratings and reviews

Reading the book was like have a conversation with a wise old friend. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make a small positive difference in their life, a huge life change or who wants to enjoy life a little bit more. Its a perfect book to bring a little bit of sunshine into winter this year ... regardless of spiritual background.
