Open Mind, Open Heart discussion

Here's another option for those of you interested in learning specifically about being present. It's a book by Hugh Prather. It's a "30-day program to cleanse your mine, lift your spirit and replenish your soul."

I'm 48 pages in and some of it seems pretty basic, but the exercises and examples reinforce the overall point. So far I'm enjoying it.

Thanks! Any help in this area has to be good!

P.S. Have you read any of his other books?

No, I haven't read any others. I have to say that I am really enjoying this book and would love to read others. I'm finding it a slow read because I am taking my time with the exercises. The exercise I am on now feels like its peeling the layers away regarding intention. It's digging down deep into the beliefs that make the thoughts.

For those who've decided to read this, where there any A-HA moments, or parts of the book that really clicked for you? What were some new thoughts or did the book reinforce some things you already knew? How, if at all, was the book helpful? Was there a particular exercise you liked or was helpful? What would you say to other people about this book?

This book is going to take me the rest of the month to read because there are some exercises I've spent a day or two on. Does anyone else feel like they've also needed a few days on each?

Happiness as we know it is experienced as anticipation. Most adults are afraid to be happy because happiness is naivety. Interesting thoughts from the Little Book of Letting Go. Some of these exercises I find my self spending days on.
