The Mindful Day: How to Find Focus, Calm, and Joy From Morning to Evening Paperback – March 26, 2019

The practice of mindfulness, being present physically and mentally, is an ancient art that is slowly catching on in our modern society. What makes this book worth reading is the accessibility of "HOW" to bring mindfulness alive in a world of many distractions. The author brings such passion to her writing that I was fully sold on the value of her message. Ms. Cameron also starts each chapter with inspiring quotes. One that resonated with me in Chapter 11, is by the poet and philosopher Mark Nepo. "Our challenge each day is not to get dressed to face the world but to unglove ourselves so that the doorknob feels cold and the car handle feels wet and the kiss goodbye feels like the lips of another being, soft and unrepeatable." This book helped me get in touch with the many joys available to me in life that are often masked by the veil of constant doing. Give yourself a gift; be the productive person AND live moment to moment. I encourage you to read this book.

Just read it and I cannot convey what an amazing book this is! I hoped it would be an interesting read because I'd heard the author speak at a Mindfulness summit, but had no idea that it would be truly life-changing. That sounds corny, but it's not one of those self-help books that motivates you while you're reading it, and then gets set aside once you forget about it. It is full of sensible, practical, and brilliant ideas. It is really well organized, but incredibly engaging. It's written from a personal perspective, but I would say applicable to anyone's own life. Definitely not just for mindfulness gurus, but for everyone. In fact I just bought 5 more copies for each member of my family (none of whom really know what mindfulness is). I've already marked pages I will go back to and re-read to reinforce the practices I learned from this book. Can't say enough about it, but I'd read for yourself.

What a gift! Loved really beginning to understand what Mindfulness is and finding great tips on bringing it into the ordinary day. Very easy to read and engaging. Broken down into small subjects so it's easy for busy people to read in brief minutes throughout the day. And, easy to refer back to topics when something comes up! Really wish I had it for those years of waiting in the school car line when my children were little. Contains good advise for parents to be able to give to their children when they jump in the car and begin describing a challenging event that day. Useful for so many different aspects of life! So well done! Bought multiple copies to give to friends! And, I agree with the other reviewer...I'm not a big reader either, but I couldn't put this book down when I first got it!

This book is useful during your day. It mentions to start your day in a positive way, focus on your work, enjoy a walk daily, and at the end of the day find a place to be calm. There are many other things to do in this book. I recommend this book and hope to learn more about mindfulness.

I truly LOVE this book! It is easy to read and filled with straightforward, kind and compassionate advice for adding mindful practices to your life. Without any pretension or preaching, the author provides helpful tips and tricks for taking that much needed pause to bring calm and focus to your day. The structure is really helpful, walking you through the key moments of the day and pointing out tips for each point in time. It provides a useful guide and easy way to start constructive habits. I also greatly appreciate the references to the research behind mindfulness practices. For me, understanding the “why” makes it easier to incorporate these practices into my day. I’ve already gained a couple great new habits and look forward to incorporating more! The author also includes great tips for building and sustaining new practices so that they will stick with you long after you finish reading.

Many will gain a lot of knowledge from reading this book. But I've been practicing yoga for 40+ years, and going to Miraval (A mindful spa camp in AZ) since 2005. So, this wasn't the best book for me. But for the beginner, hit or miss, or intermediate level person in practicing mindfulness this is a great start and thoroughly explained with nice practice drills. It will definitely help the reader find the key to internal peace.Easy read, but for my experience in mindfulness; there was no new knowledge.

I started using it the day I received it and have been happily using it every day.

I love this book. I’ve read it cover to cover several time and still go back and reference certain sections often. It offers enough history on mindfulness to make you appreciate it without boring you. The practices and tips are helpful, simple and well explained. Love this book. Bought a second to give to my sister. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about mindfulness or start practicing.

I wanted to learn to be more mindful. Our days are sometimes full of chaos and distractions. The Mindful Day gently teaches you to find your focus and your peace without having to make drastic changes to your daily routines. These small changes, when applied consistently, will absolutely change your life. It will positively affect the way you work, the way to relate to people and the way you live every day of your life. I highly recommend this book. It’s an easy yet powerful read.

Great book. Clear, concise, authentic.Does all that one would expect but goes much further, into everyday experiences and how to approach, deal with, or react to them in the most clear, calm, compassionate way.The author obviously tries to live this way herself - you can tell it from the way her advice flows naturally.So many mindfulness books are either academic and devoid of the joy of being mindful, or on the other hand are quickly written and published to latch onto the current fad for all things mindfulness. This book is not like those books. This is the real thing. I'd definitely recommend people buy it.

Very helpful if you need to reconnect with your Spirit, mind and body! Start your day with hepful strategies or a reminder of what is so important for you today.

Such an inspirational book! Highly recommend!
