This book will make you alert: Author: Jesami Hipbard Language: Arabic Publication date: 2020 Book format: Paperback Publisher: Jarir Bookstore Number of pages: 183 Book category: Self-development Description: This book offers a simple introduction to mindfulness, along with stories that help clarify the theory, and it contains no ambiguous words, or hours of sitting in lotus position (unless you want to do so yourself), or boring details. We have tried to present a simple, coherent, and easy-to-understand book as much as possible; so that the next time customer service at the electricity company keeps you waiting on the phone for twenty minutes, you can pause for a moment before smashing the phone against the nearest wall to decide whether this is really what you want or not. There are two types of mindfulness: informal and formal. The term "informal" includes what you do during your daily activities, while "formal" includes meditative practices. There is a false stereotype associated with meditation—that it is limited to people wearing hemp robes, or that it is a form of religiosity—but this stereotype is completely incorrect. People now need more than ever a way to deal with the demands of daily life. Mindfulness offers an ingenious way to better know yourself; and thus you will be able to remove the accumulated clutter in your mind, distinguish how you think, feel, and act from it, and understand the reasons behind it as well. This understanding will enable you to make changes—if necessary—to better handle stressful events, and to appreciate the present place and moment more effectively.
