Publisher's Summary
Present moment awareness is an essential ingredient in life if one expects to experience any degree of authentic peace and contentment. It has been acknowledged for centuries as the cornerstone of spiritual awakening in all traditions of Eastern thought. In the West, however, it is still a relatively unrecognized concept for living.
The Western mind is always restless, never content with the moment. Its internal dialogue is always firing off thoughts filled with emotional content and pulling the individual out of the present and into the past or future. But individuals raised in Western culture are becoming increasingly aware of their overall sense of mental exhaustion, their lack of discipline and their inability to focus on demand. They are willing to expend the energy necessary to experience inner peace and a quiet mind that is waiting to follow the direction of their will. They are realizing that the endless struggle to fulfill the insatiable appetite of instant gratification is fruitless and tiresome at best. They are ripe for a new path in life and eager for a new set of instructions.
This is the purpose of The Practicing Mind. It comprehensively deals with helping the individual understand exactly what present-moment awareness is, how we are raised in a manner contradictory to this, and how we change our mindset to make this a part of our daily living. This book is accessible to listeners of all philosophical backgrounds. Regardless of your perspective, you will find the book's insights most compelling.

Speed it up
It's much easier to get through on 1.25x speed.
It has a lot of stuff I was aware of already, such as mindfulness and flow state. It's free though, so I only spent the time I could have listened to other books, which normally I would be watching television or something, so still time well spent.

Great initiation
Despite the familiarity of the majority with the presented material, it remains a wise and valuable approach to examine the ideas surrounding the state of being present.
Engaging in such a review strengthens comprehension and encourages the incorporation of these principles into daily life, enriching personal experiences and interactions.

Fantastic read.
Breaks free from cultural pitfalls of practice, to introduce us to a method of learning and developing skills in a more controlled, calm and more aware state.

Great content, stiff delivery
I really enjoyed the content of this book and have found it helpful for increasing my own self awareness. I have been able to incorporate the strategies into my daily life. The audio however I found to be somewhat stiff or robotic in delivery.

This is where the fun begins!
Really liked listening to this book after The Happiness Advantage. They go so well together. The reading is a bit stiff but his points are easy to relate to and bring into practice in your everyday life. I will listen again as I never get it all the first time. Great free listen. Totally recommend!!
