In this book, the author shares his thoughts about the opportunities available at the present moment in a person’s life. What does our life consist of here and now, what opportunities does it provide? Mindfulness practice can help develop the ability to be present in the here and now, regardless of the past or future. This creates space for inner peace and happiness. The idea that happiness is closely linked to mindfulness and acceptance of the present moment is based on the belief that thoughts about the past and future can cause anxiety, while full attention to the present can reveal sources of satisfaction. When a person is fully immersed in the present moment, they become more able to notice and appreciate moments of joy and satisfaction that might otherwise be missed with fragmented attention. Mindfulness helps you manage stress by focusing on what's happening in the here and now.
