‘Just One Thing’ was kindly provided to me by Netgalley for Smith Publicity.
This was a well written positive little how-to guide on how to be mindful of your happiness on a daily basis. This is a novel for everyone. It’s an easily understandable guide that doesn’t go into the ‘science’ of anything or even religion. This is definitely a great read for anyone interested in trying to make their days just a bit better.
The first time I read this novel I read it front to back and I enjoyed it. I did understand; however, that some of the situations the author would discuss didn’t necessarily apply to me at the time of reading. This is going to be a great book to keep on hand for whenever I encounter a situation where a little guidance is needed. I have a feeling the ‘Relax’ chapter will have its work cut out for it though. :)

A great introduction, and helpful for people who already practice mindfulness. You can read a single chapter easily so it’s a nice book to have on your shelf if you need a boost.

"Stop and smell the roses" with directions on all the different ways one can accomplish that life improving (and lengthening) task.

I struggled with this book in the written format so switched to audio. I think it was possibly a little too basic rather than what I was looking for - I've certainly encountered most of these ideas elsewhere. I'm also not entirely sure if the tone of the book was condescending, or if that was just the narrator. Probably a good very basic introduction to mindfulness, but skip it if you're further along the path.
