Somewhere along the way the mind learned to run ahead of the present moment and rehearse every worst case, or to drag behind it a long train of regrets, and the result is a life lived in our heads while the day slips by unlived. You have probably tried to slow down, to meditate, to be present, and you have failed. This book was written for you: a little aw...
