Summary:
"Stop stressing. Try yoga. Be calm. Be fulfilled-- and that's an order! You've been bossing yourself around too long. Where has it gotten you? Maybe it's time you take a page from the French and give yourself a break. Allow yourself to be angry, be tired, be silly, be passionate - to stop giving a shit, and just simply be. An international bestseller (now in English for the first time), this book explains why the key to true mindfulness is freeing ourselves from social and often self-imposed stresses and highlights how we can embrace life more fully by giving ourselves a break. He gives readers permission to: Stop obeying - you are intelligent. Stop being calm - be at peace. Stop wanting to be perfect - accept life's storms. Stop rationalizing - let things be. Stop comparing - be you. Stop being ashamed - be vulnerable. Stop tormenting yourself - become your own best friend. Stop wanting to love - be benevolent. One of the world's leading teachers of meditation and mindfulness, Midal offers us a new solution to the perennial problem of our too-much, too-fast modern life. Fabrice Midal is the founder of The Western School of Meditation"--Provided by publisher.
