Search Inside Yourself: The Unexpected Path to Achieving Success, Happiness (And World Peace) by Chade-Meng Tan
3.0
There is much to like about this book: The advantages of mindfulness and their applicability to personal and business life are well covered. The exercises strike a good balance between breadth and simplicity, and they avoid feeling too "out there" for a secular audience. The book would be a great introduction to mindfulness for someone interested in the topic but wanting to avoid the new age baggage that often comes with meditation.
My main reason for only giving this book three stars, is that for someone who is already familiar with mindfulness meditation, there is little new. It was still worth reading -- I am inconsistent enough at actually practicing meditation to make any reminders in that direction useful -- but it was definitely more of a refresher than anything else.
