Mindfulness in Action | Free Book
The rewards of mindfulness practice are well proven: reduced stress, improved concentration, and an overall sense of well-being. But those benefits are just the beginning. Mindfulness in action—mindfulness applied throughout life—can help us work more effectively with life’s challenges, expanding our appreciation and potential for creative engagement.
This guide to mindful awareness through meditation provides all the basics to get you started, but also goes deeper to address the questions that naturally arise as your practice matures and further insight arises. A distillation of teachings on the subject by one of the great meditation masters of our time, this book serves as an introduction to the practice as well as a guide to the ongoing mindful journey.

“Mindfulness in Action is one of the best
introductions to the practice of mindfulness that I have read. It is
accessible, fresh and filled with real world advice on how to bring
awareness and gentleness into the busyness and pressure of our
everyday lives. . . . which will contribute to reducing the anxiety
levels of our society as a whole.”

with a good friend. The kind voice, thoughtful words and rich
territory of discussion are a lovely gift for newcomers and seasoned
meditators from all traditions.”

“In Mindfulness in Action, a highly trained
meditation master shows us—in stunningly simple language and
images—how mindfulness is not a single event, but rather an unfolding
journey of discovery that will sustain us throughout our entire life.
It’s an important contribution to the growing body of mindfulness
writing.”
—Barry Boyce, editor-in-chief of Mindful magazine and editor
of The Mindfulness Revolution
“Here Chögyam Trungpa shows us how, by
simply sitting still, we can reconnect with the profound
gentleness and luminous wisdom of being human. Whether you are new to
mindfulness or an experienced practitioner, this text is indispensable
for learning how to wake up to the vastness and goodness of everyday
life.”
—Michael Carroll, author of Awake at Work,
The Mindful Leader, and Fearless at Work
“In 1973 in Vermont, Chogyam Trungpa taught me the basics
of mindfulness in a startlingly relevant way, leading twenty years
later to my addressing what he called America's “super-sized problems”
by teaching mindfulness to leaders in education, business, law,
environment, science, and activism. His powerful presence is
alive in this book—including his fierce wisdom, his honest and loving
compassion, his fabulous unsparing sense of humor, and his thoughts on
the state of America. I can’t imagine a more valuable book at this
time.”
—Mirabai Bush, Senior Fellow, Center for Contemplative Mind in
Society, and author of
