Living the Mindful Life

Being awake. Why is something that sounds so simple the primary goal of so many of the world's great wisdom traditions? In this workshop-in-a-book, Charles T. Tart shows why: the seeming simplicity of the awakened state belies its transformative effect on the lives of those who strive for it. His easy-to-use exercises put within everyone's reach the elusive art of "waking up" to life in the glorious present moment.

Psychologists and counselors are increasingly recommending mindfulness meditation to their clients as a valuable tool for coping with stress, anxiety, and depression. Now, a leading psychology writer and Buddhist meditator offers an easy-to-use workbook for living in the present moment--based on the author's experience with his workshop participants.

Charles T. Tart, Ph.D., is internationally known as an authority on the interface between psychology, spirituality, and mindfulness practice. He is Professor of Psychology at the University of California at Davis and author of such classic books as Altered States of Consciousness; Transpersonal Psychology; and Waking Up: Overcoming the Obstacles to Human Potential.
