About the book

Whether we like it or not, a large part of our thinking is wasteful — be it guilt, fear, anxiety or stress. This drains our energy and hinders our decision-making. Mindfulness is an eye-opening take on how to reclaim your time and stay in the moment, illustrated with metaphors derived from cinema, theatre, magic and other stories. Through the book, we learn to recognize and cut down on thoughts that are unproductive. We also learn to investigate the process of self-deception — becoming more self-aware in the process. Not reheated fixes for our existential woes, this book serves as a guide for intelligent readers and urban professionals to focus and practise mindfulness. And through it, we stand to develop skills on time management that lead to personal growth, necessary for an optimal life experience.

It is not by sitting in meditation but by being mindfully aware in your day-to-day living that you grow in self-knowledge and learn to creatively negotiate the problems of living. Vinay Dabholkar’s Mindfulness brings home this wonderful, cleansing truth most e¬ffectively. - MUKUNDA RAO, author

Mindfulness offers a practice that stills the mind and discerns the present. Based on the premise that self-knowledge is the beginning of wisdom, Vinay Dabholkar’s book promises a new approach to the humanities. - RADHIKA HERZBERGER, writer, educator and scholar of Sanskrit and Indology

Mindfulness is a crucial practice in reaching our potential as human beings. Vinay’s book is very readable and makes the concept and practice of mindfulness accessible. - RAVI VENKATESAN, business leader, philanthropist, author
