Weaving together myriad outlooks and insights, illuminating vignettes, and life lessons culled from a vast array of both Jewish and secular sources, Dr. Jonathan Feiner has succeeded beautifully in presenting the reader with a rich and enlightening tapestry on the topic of “mindfulness.” Sprinkled with compelling studies and sundry real-life stories, the author’s masterful work is written with unusual candor and humility, as he invites us warmly into his own personal journey on the path to attaining true mindfulness.

I read this book twice. The second time very slowly. There is much good content to upgrading life!
Mastering each moment by slowing down and appreciating the gift of life and all the details brings a person to more joyful state.
By appreciating life, the small things as well as the big, a person begins to realize G-D created this world and all the beauty for us to enjoy!
By slowing down and becoming present, awake and aware a person experiences life on a different level and dimension.
Each moment becomes a gift to treasure. Each interaction and step on the journey helps a person have deeper hakaras hatov to Hashem and people around.
Noticing, colors, sounds, a paper cup, a tissue etc. We stop taking people and things for granted and graditude begins to grow.
Joy is only found in the NOW in the moment!
Reaching joy only comes from appreciation and gratitude towards Hashem!
This book was very helpful in getting grounded and appreciating each step and moment of life!!
