About the Book



A quick and easy, neuroscience-based mindfulness program to help readers calm the chaos and rewire their brain in just five minutes a day.

Book Synopsis



Calm the chaos and rewire your brain in just five minutes a day!

Do you ever feel like your stress levels are off the charts? You aren't alone. Every day it feels like there's something new to juggle or a fresh crisis to avert. And just keeping everything in the air requires an exhausting amount of attention and a dizzying amount of responsibilities. The more chaotic life becomes, the more we tend to forget what we truly value--from family and friends to mental and physical health. Fortunately, there are things you can do to stay grounded that won't eat away at your increasingly precious time.

Quick Calm is a practical and fun guidebook designed to fit perfectly into a fast-paced lifestyle. You'll discover the what, why, and how of developing your own mindfulness practice. You'll learn all about the essential, life-affirming benefits of this ancient practice, including mindfulness meditation's positive effects on both mind and body. And, most importantly, you'll find daily practices you can do in just five minutes a day!

So, if you're ready to discover the gift of mindfulness, but you don't have the time to attend a meditation retreat, set aside five minutes a day with this handy little guide. You'll be hard pressed to find a better return on your time investment!
