Excellent book

Highly recommend reading this book. So much information, needs to be listened to time and time again.
Mr. Edoardo Ballerini is a joy to listen to. Thanks so much for making this book available, JK.

Thank you for this wonderfully clear book.

It is extremely helpful how clearly the ideas are presented in this skillful book. The narrator has a calming voice.

Enlightening

I’m so glad this book was written. An easy to understand but so profound book about meditating, being mindful and learning how to be kind and loving.

Surprisingly Amazing

I didn't think much of this at first glance, talk about judging a book by it's cover! After the loss of my Dad I was going through a hard time. I started trying to learn more about spirituality and meditation, and I found this book. I assumed it was going to be another BS pretentious guru telling you just follow this path and you will have true happiness guaranteed.
But I found it to be the opposite, it was a very humble and simple beginners entry into meditation. Giving what seemed like obvious & too basic at first. But as I listened, many of the ideas really hit home. Being able to "be" but not keep overthinking, and heal from grievances. How we can love our enemies. That has been one of my hardest things in life, but the author put it in a way, that for once in over 32 years I could actually understand why I should love someone who does me wrong and hate me.
This is a fairly short listen, I will probably have to give it another go for a second round at some point, but I do suggest getting this and see for yourself.

Clear and understandable with a poetic drop.

Precise depiction of our modern life at the beginning of the book and our mind in the rest of it. Poetic in the end.

Great introduction

Mindfulness is explained in a simple and easy to understand manner.I highly recommend this for people seeking true happiness

Really easy to follow!

It was great. Very easy to grab the key pillars of mindfulness meditation. Narrator was easy to listen to as well.

excellent. one of the best books on mindfulness.

Narrator sounds like Henry Gibson, from Laugh-In. One of the best books about mindfulness on audio media. TWO THUMBS UP.

Good engaging narration from Edoardo Ballerini. Fantastic explanation on what mindfulness is all about. I would say a must listen/read for anyone to understand mindfulness.

I finished this book in 3 days. But it is a book you will want to and probably need to read again.
A solid foundation book on mindfulness. One that you will cherish for ever.

Meditation for beginners

This is a fantastic book for beginners looking to start meditation - my favorite part about the book is the narrator Eduardo Ballerini. He has such a calming voice. I’ve heard this book about 6 times, you have to keep listening to get it completely.

Yes, this book has changed my life. Thank you
