Review by Library Journal Review

In his latest book, Altman (The Mindfulness Code: Keys for Overcoming Stress, Anxiety, Fear, and Unhappiness) offers a practical approach for meaningfully engaging with life one minute at a time. In 50 chapters, he offers a short message and practice on each day's focus (e.g., "Spread Optimism," "Be the Change"). The exercises Altman advocates take a minute to perform and, he claims, will help heal relationships, bring more awareness to life, and recapture a childlike curiosity for all things natural and untamed. Altman provides a workable introduction to those interested in mindfulness and extended exercises for those who are already practitioners. (c) Copyright 2011.
