After hearing for several years in the internet about this boom I gave it a go.

So glad I did.

Aldous was one of Britain’s brightest. He tried mescaline as a research project, and oh my, I wish I had at least 1% of his eloquent speech and highly accurate descriptive language of intrinsic and extrinsic phenomenon that happen in ineffable experiences.

Its like reliving a small hit when you read. Very interesting.

A very good introduction to mindfulness. Its a very easy read that introduces anyone, no matter their level, to concepts and practices of mindfulness.

This is not a technical book, Ruby cheerfully talks about her life and throughout the book you not only find out about her peculiar (and often funny) life, but also how she applied mindfulness to deal with stress that normal people but also high-profile and exceedingly successful people face.

If you’re pondering about mindfulness, in a situation where you’re like one foot inside and another outside, still thinking if its for you or if it’ll leave your pinky finger cold and maybe just forget about everything and just chug some vodka to go through life, then this book is a very lighthearted, engaging, straightforward and hilarious take on the wellness practice that took the world by storm since the 80’s.
