Mindful Moments

Another excellent book for anyone. Originally bought this for my wife, the got a copy for my sister.

Useful and empowering

A very useful and empowering book, on how to live life for the moment , and fully cultivate happiness , creativity and inner peace.. Contains real advice that can be used right now. Tzivia Gover draws on wisdom from throughout the ages, from the Jewish Torah , to Zen Buddhism . She points out how the 16th century Saint , Teresa of Avila said that she could find G-D as easily in the kitchen , among her pots and pans as she could at the altar. Admiring and benefiting from nature, arts and crafts , hobbies and meditation , listening , hearing , and gaining inner meaning from seemingly mundane taks-all of this is contained in this helpful and inspiring book. Gover reminds us that we do not need to incorporate all these tips and ideas at once, that instead we must choose the ones that work for us in the context of our lives.

Everyday wisdom

In the path of Jon Kabat Zinn ("Wherever You Go, There You Are) and Sue Bender ("Everyday Sacred"), Tzivia Gover captures the essence of being human in a very inhuman society. Each page of this book is filled with ideas which can be implemented RIGHT NOW in our lives. And, if done, the enrichment from practicing these concepts overshadows a world filled with too much hate and anxiety.I applaud Ms. Gover's insight and ability in bringing forth the wisdom of so many of our spiritual masters.
