'Brian Draper is Britain's foremost popular spiritual thinker; he has no equals in linking the inner with the political and personal outer.This is a remarkably practical exploration of elusive yet core elements of our existence.' - Oliver JamesThe beauty of mindfulness is that it's incredibly simple both to 'get' and to practise. And the results - increasingly backed by neuro-scientific evidence - are priceless: calmness and reduced stress, more creativity, greater awareness, compassion. . . And yet there's a danger that mindfulness can be used in a purely consumerist and self-serving way to help people to become better adapted cogs in a still-toxic model of work and life.Brian Draper challenges us to live not just mindfully but soulfully.Not merely to be less stressed, but to flourish, dynamically and creatively - to be present - through living intentionally and compassionately.
