Riassunto
“Award-Winning Finalist in the “Self-Help: General” category of the 2017 International Book Awards”! Mindfully Mobile is a guide for frequent flyers, road warriors and chronic commuters to balance and integrate simple practices of fitness, fueling, centering, and safety to improve and maintain personal and professional performance and wellness on the road and off. This book succinctly presents mindfulness in a science-based, non-religious framework that can be applied in everyday life. Mindfully Mobile provides practical, simple practices for people with little discretionary time who feel the stress of balancing the demands of professional and personal life. It is designed to be read in the time of a flight, practiced in the space of a seat, and tweaked in the course of a life. “There are lots of books available about mindfulness, but this book is unique in that it gets to the heart of what business people need. An easy read, the Altizers give us step-by-step, easy-to-understand steps about how to incorporate immediate changes into our lives. Thankfully, this book doesn't require an advanced degree in psychology or a black belt in karate, or a body fat of 10% to become and remain healthy, safe and effective. I made changes as I read the book - some as simple as the trying three-part breath sitting at the airport gate and increasing my flexibility while sitting in the plane. I really like concrete examples and this book is full of them.” Contents Introduction.
