I like a more detailed approach. I will admit the description did say short. So no fault of the author I am simply saying would not recommend

This is my first read on spirituality or meditation. I find only the first page new. And all other pages were just one liners. This book could be in half or less of the pages. maybe I'll edit, because I don't know how much I'm going to be benefited from this.

Edit: Even though they look like one liners, It really has some deep meaning inside it!

This book was charming, inspirational and to the point. For best results, read outside while in the sunshine. You will learn this sitting quietly.

So...I guess one has to be in a certain place to appreciate certain books.

I am in that place. Second time round and it's a gem.

A timely reminder, too :)

Sit quietly and enjoy your breath, sit in proper posture, and respect the medical recommended posture , keep eyes out of focus not closed. And enjoy your own breath.
Care for body eat only that body required, and take care of medical difficulties.
Enjoy your feelings and don't try to hide it, it will keep heart and gut in good condition.
Make room for thoughts as it make you a better person.
Accept the pain and relax.
Be the person u r not to change.
Live in the present and forgot about everything else.
Love everything, without judging and love what you have got.
Listen to the people around it and try to learn from experiences about the people tone and way.
Let the coming future events, surprise you, don't be always expect something from it.
We are connected to the world one way or the other.
Be grateful for life you have, because it's a gift to you and u must appreciate it.
Never harm anyone with or without intention of it.
Be selfless and generous to help, it will benefit to you in future.
Wish for everyone to be remain happy no matter what may went wrong.
