Inhale, Exhale, Repeat

Book excerpt: We’re all living faster, working harder, and often so busy we forget to take a moment to sit back, close our eyes, and just breathe. Yet this hectic lifestyle can get us down, making us lethargic, stressed, and burned out. So how do we break the cycle? Inspired by traditional Eastern lessons of meditation and mindfulness, neuroscience, and insights from literature, Emma Mills offers fresh and simple tools to keep our minds healthy, from that early morning coffee through to the moment we climb into bed, without having to invest in expensive detox courses or far-flung retreats. She guides the reader through the course of a single day, with easy tips, meditations, recipes, literary recommendations, and practical takeaways that can be completed in a matter of minutes. So just inhale, exhale, and repeat—and let a sense of calm and focus transform your day.
