Not quite nirvana : a skeptic's journey to mindfulness / Rachel Neumann ; introduction by Thich Nhat Hanh. by Neumann, Rachel. Parallax, c2012. Call #: 294.3444 N492n Subjects Neumann, Rachel.   Nhát Hạnh, Thích -- Friends and associates.   Awareness -- Religious aspects -- Buddhism.   Listening -- Religious aspects -- Buddhism.   Compassion -- Religious aspects -- Buddhism.   Religious life -- Buddhism.   Zen Buddhism. ISBN:  9781937006235 (pbk.) Description:  199 p. ; 21 cm. Summary:  "A memoir of how a skeptical, fast-talking New Yorker became Thich Nhat Hanh's editor, turned forty, realized she was aging, and slowly and reluctantly started to absorb mindfulness practice and grow up. Scenes with Thich Nhat Hanh and the author's two vividly exuberant older parents, illustrate how the author adapts mindfulness techniques for the busyness of her life, without losing her edge. With honest and vivid stories about dealing with difficult relationships with family members, death, illness, vanity, exhaustion, and creating a safety net of joy, the author explores and offers guidance for three key mindfulness practices: Knowing When You're Available and When You're Not; Full-Attachment Living; and Interbeing (Other People are Not a Hobby). This book is designed for adults who are new to mindfulness practice, curious skeptics and critics, and anyone interested in finding greater joy, nourishment, and a larger community in their lives."--Provided by publisher.
