The Mindfulness Edge

The Mindfulness Edge by Matt Tenney and Tim Gard is a practical guide for mindfulness self-training. The authors show how to develop greater self-awareness without having to carve out time from a busy schedule to add mindfulness exercises. The authors explain how mindfulness can be developed as you go about your normal day. Interspersed throughout the book and separated from the main text are notes explaining the neuroscience of mindfulness training. Clear instructions are given for mindfulness practices for beginners to advanced-level practitioners. The authors explain how mindfulness improves leadership and personal excellence. This is the book for those wanting to understand the importance of mindfulness to personal and professional effectiveness and how to cultivate increased awareness of self, others, and one’s surroundings without complicated exercises. The authors admit that their approach is simple but not necessarily easy. But for those who truly want to increase mindfulness, The Mindfulness Edge provides a realistic process for achieving that goal.
