Mindfulness for Cynics aka Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

By Nick Thawley

Does the thought of becoming an enlightened, at-one-with-the-universe inner-light seeker make you vomit a little bit into the roof of your mouth? If so, I'm glad you've found this book. You're safe now. You don't have to be a hippie to be happy Mindfulness for Cynics is a no-nonsense beginner's guide to mindfulness that doesn't take itself quite as seriously as what you'll likely find to its left and right on the bookshelf. Here's what you'll find inside: Simple, easy-to-follow instructions for developing an inner state where the twists of fate no longer twist your nipples Real-life-compatible techniques that don't require you to move to the Himalayas and abstain from sin, sex, food, fun, and Netflix Practical exercises, relatable examples, practical examples, and relatable exercises to practically and relatably demonstrate the benefits of a more mindful life Massage mindfulness into the tense shoulders of your life Mindfulness for Cynics will repackage some big ancient blocks of wisdom into enjoyable bite-size chicken nuggets for easy digestion, showing you how to: Use the razor-sharp truth-knife of mindfulness meditation to slice open negative habit patterns that keep you from happiness Create an ever-reliable inner fortress that's immune to the ups and downs of your career, relationships, finances, career relationships, finance careers, and relationship finances Maintain a clear and balanced state of mind whenever things are going a bit wrong, instead of shooting yourself in the foot with bullets of lead and unhappiness Get more acquainted with situations really float your boat (and which ones sink it), using this information to fill your life with times where you're full of life There's a growing number of skeptics who are starting to head cautiously through the murky waters of spirituality with their rational, inquisitive welly boots on - driven by the simple curiosity that there are some truths into the way the mind works that we're probably better off knowing. These are people who are concerned with finding out answers for themselves, rather than taking any self-appointed guru's word for it. People who are more interested in handling life's ups and downs than handling prayer beads and gowns. I invite you to come and see what all the fuss is about.
