Summary

Blending the traditional Buddhist teachings on mindfulness with emerging insights from the use and scientific study of mindfulness in research and applied psychological settings, The Mindful Warrior restores its place as a uniquely spiritual practice. When modern society seems to draw us into everyday concerns, the Mindful Warrior has the courage to step back and reconnect with his or her inner peace, wisdom, and compassion. If we make our home in the present, we can never be lost.
