A Better Mind: Can Mindfulness Make Us Wiser? (A Better Life in a Better World)

By Piero Falci

Mindfulness is a word that means different things to different people. I begin A Better Mind , the first volume of A Better Life in a Better World , this 6-book series, explaining the distinction I make between Mindfulness Meditation and Mindful Living. If we equate mindfulness to a sport, then Mindfulness Meditation is the practice and Mindful Living is the game . Practice is important, but what we do in practice is of less consequence than our performance during the games: that's what really matters. Similarly, it's important to prepare ourselves to live more mindfully, and this is what the practice of Mindfulness Meditation does, but we have to keep in mind that the practice is not an end in itself. Our ultimate goal is not to become excellent meditators, but to become better human beings who bless the world with our presence. In this book I explain what Mindfulness Meditation is and introduce a series of mindfulness exercises. I also emphasize the value of the present moment, and explain that nothing is more important than developing the capacity to pay attention to what is unfolding in the here-now. I put in plain words how our minds work, and how the expanded awareness and insights that come from the practice of mindfulness make us better able to answer life's challenges more wisely, and, in doing so, not only improve the quality of our lives, but also create a better world for us all. *** A Better Life in a Better World is a 6-book series that compiles three hundred and sixty-five essays about mindfulness and how its practice has the potential to improve our lives and the world in which we live. The six books in the series are: Book 1 - A Better Mind: Can Mindfulness Make Us Wiser? Book 2 - A Better Life: Can Mindfulness Make Us Happier? Book 3 - A Better Body: Can Mindfulness Make Us Healthier? Book 4 - A Better Soul: Can Mindfulness Make Us Holier? Book 5 - A Better Heart: Can Mindfulness Make Us Kinder? Book 6 - A Better World: Can Mindfulness Save Us From Ourselves? I hope that reading the six books in this series will inspire you to practice mindfulness, live more mindfully, and be a force for good in our world. May you have many mindful moments every day of your life. Piero Falci
