Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of the average American can be summed up in one word: busy. Busy with work, busy with kids' activities, busy packing too many things into the day. While running ourselves ragged seems to be the norm, it's important to stop and ask ourselves: does it have to be this way? Every event in our day is the result of a decision we've made. So, instead of staying 45 minutes late at work to finish up an important email, how about deciding to go home and ask your child about his or her day? It can be as simple as deciding to put your phone away during a conversation with someone. Journey in the Present explores various ways to awaken a greater sense of self awareness and live more authentically. With each chapter containing inspiring anecdotes and powerful questions to trigger self-reflection, your journey toward mindfulness starts today. All net proceeds from Journey in the Present go to brain tumor & epilepsy research.
