Publisher's Synopsis
What is happening to our mental health in Australia? While we are living in an age of material affluence, the author asks are we clear-headed, content, and living in the present moment? He concludes that many of us are either lost or else blindly accepting the breathless embrace of technology, the market and saturation advertising. In this book, he puts individuals back in the driver's seat. He shows how taking simple steps to deliberately cultivate strong character can help you to: * relish the beauty of the present moment; * move through life with quiet modesty; * enjoy the incredible lightness of being; * switch to the effortless effort. Most of the dozens of prescriptions you'll find can be completed in seconds, but if repeated again and again will have a lasting impact on your philosophy, beliefs and lifestyle. Laced with insights from yoga, the life-wisdom of the ages, and plenty of humour, this book provides a roadmap to get more out of less and enjoy life clear-headed!
