The Practice of Mindfulness in Everyday Life

The book «The Practice of Mindfulness in Everyday Life» by the famous American psychologist C. Tart, who explored the nature of consciousness, is based on the transcript of a seminar dedicated to the development of awareness and mindfulness. How to live each moment of our life more fully? How to understand who we truly are? Tart offers specific exercises and practices that help to return attention to the present through observation of thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations.
In this work, Tart relies not only on contemporary psychological approaches but also on spiritual traditions, in particular on the ideas of Sogyal Rinpoche related to the Buddhist practice of mindfulness and presence, as well as on the teachings of G. I. Gurdjieff, who emphasized the importance of the «awakening» of a person from mechanical existence.
The author notes that regular practice of mindfulness contributes to reducing stress, improving the quality of life, and forming a clearer and more stable perception of reality.
The book will be useful to a wide range of readers, especially those interested in mindfulness practices and striving to integrate them into everyday life.
