Summary

The high price for trying to get everything done is letting yourself become undone. A busy life is an easy place to lose you. Even in a busy life, the greatest gift you can give yourself is the gift of your own attention, discovering from within what is true and authentic. For this self-discovery, exotic travel is optional. Inquiry is mandatory. A Minute for Megives you the tools that encourage inquiry, including: Personal short stories to motivate your own exploration and inquiry; Simple 60-second exercises to build your "self-awareness" muscle; Ideas for generating new perspectives that can easily fit into your day without changing your schedule or adding another item on your to-do list. You can think about the past, plan for the future, but the only time you experience life is right here, right now-in this very moment. A Minute for Mehelps you live this moment to its fullest. Maybe that is the ultimate exotic travel-the exploration of your own heart.
