The Practicing Mind: Developing Focus and Discipline in Your Life -- Master Any Skill or Challenge by Learning to Love the Process by Thomas M. Sterner

3.0

A paradox of life: The problem with patience and discipline is that developing each of them requires both of them.

This is a good, not very long book about...well, I guess technically it would be some sort of mindfulness but about letting go of focusing on the effect/someday and only putting your attention on the now, truly being in the moment. Most of the book is about why you should try to live your life this way and only towards the end does Sterner get into the how of doing so. Sterner states in the book that he wanted people to be able to pick up the book and start reading from anywhere but sense there's no bullet points or anything and most of the how is towards the end, I'm not sure that goal was fully accomplished. Probably a good book to read if you find yourself impatient with the process of something and just wanting to skip towards the end which (spoiler alert) either doesn't actually exist or will not give you as much satisfaction as you expect.
