About this title: This volume explores the practice of mindfulness and its power to influence our intentions, actions, values, and goals. Becoming more conscious of ourselves and the world around us in any situation, it argues, opens our eyes to the possibilities and options we otherwise miss.

"This book had some wonderful principles that I agree with and that are helpful in living a happier life. Yet, at the end of his book he shared some of his ideas and beliefs that I do not accept - such as he is an atheist and believes all our beliefs must have proof or evidence to be honestly accepted. I admire his intelligence and logic and thus accept a lot of what he writes, but we separate when it comes to the principle of faith. I agree that a professed belief in God does not guarantee a moral life or more compassionate actions. But I disagree with his explanations of why God cannot be 'proven' to exist - faith and Spirit are just as real as logic and reason. I personally feel the universe and the creation of this world logically require a supreme creator.
Some of the quotes I liked: "It is a mark of wisdom and maturity to understand that we have the power to be a nonjudgmental witness to our emotions, thoughts, and memories without being controlled by them or driven to act in self-destructive ways."
"If we love consciously, we are aware that how we respond to our partner entails a continuing process of choice."
"Often, a flight from reality is a flight from the reality of our inner state."
"What we repress does not simply disappear; at an unconscious level, it remains active."
"Self-acceptance is the foundation of growth and change."
"The practice of living consciously entails an openness to evidence that might suggest an error in one's thinking -- and a willingness to correct such errors."
"If our goal is to learn to live at a high level of awareness, nothing may be more important than discarding the notion that consciousness is a burden and grasping instead that it is a source of liberation, empowerment, and increased possibilities.""
