Here-and-Now Habit, livre ebook

“A wonderful thing about TheHere-and-Now Habit is that it not only tells you that you can change, it tells you how to actually do it. Hugh G. Byrne brings together contemporary science, ancient teachings, and his own experience to help his readers learn to suffer less by changing unskillful habits—what a generous gift!” —Sharon Salzberg , author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness “Practical and profound, this book shows how to use modern neuroscience combined with ancient wisdom to end harmful habits and grow helpful ones. With brief, doable exercises, hopeful perspectives, concrete examples, and friendly support, Hugh G. Byrne offers both freedom from old ‘stuckness’ and the cultivation of a strong and happy heart.” —Rick Hanson, PhD , author of Buddha’s Brain “What you will appreciate in this simple yet profound book is that all of life is habit. Just as we have developed habits over time, we can exchange, improve, and transform habits through understanding and mindfulness practices. This refreshing read offers guidance that nurtures our capacity to be present, and to cultivate a quality of awareness crucial to transcending habitual reactivity, conflict, and harm. A must-read for those willing to witness their lives and deepen their personal and relational well-being.” —Ruth King , author of Healing Rage and Mindful of Race “Hugh G. Byrne’s book, TheHere-and-Now Habit, is one of the best books I know on learning how to apply mindfulness to our everyday life.
