Arnie’s blend of simplicity, wisdom, and psychological sophistication makes this book deeply relevant and alive for contemporary readers."—Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge"Timeless Truths for Modern Mindfulness is a wise and pragmatic exploration of mindfulness in our daily lives. Arnie Kozak draws on his many years of meditation practice to highlight the many ways mindfulness helps awaken us to the possibilities of greater peace and freedom." —Joseph Goldstein, author of Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening"Much like mindfulness itself is integrative, this book offers a wonderful and rare combination of friendly tone and solid scholarship, simple experiential practices plus deep wisdom, and both accessibility and comprehensiveness. Dr. Kozak is a warm and supportive guide all along the way."—Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness"The five core principles covered by Arnie Kozak in his Timeless Truths for Modern Mindfulness (Experience is fabricated; No one owns the experience; You can choose not to identify with experience; The mind can be trained; and Happiness is non-contingent) will be inspirational for beginners in mindfulness practice. For seasoned practitioners, these are an exquisite and creative re-languaging of not only Buddhist understanding of mindfulness but also broader aspects of Buddhist thought and practice. The book is an exciting new addition to the growing literature on the subject and builds a solid bridge between secular mindfulness practice and Buddhist principles of mindfulness." —Mu Soeng, author of Heart of the Universe and Trust in Mind“There are no shortage of books on mindfulness, but Timeless Truths for Modern Mindfulness stands out from the pack. I’ve been practicing mindfulness for over 25 years, yet I learned so much from this book because it contains a variety of approaches, some of which I hadn’t tried before. The book is both thorough and concise. Its coverage includes the history of mindfulness practice; mindfulness myths; guided meditations that cover several mindfulness techniques; what to do when you encounter obstacles; how practicing mindfulness can take you all the way to the peace and well-being we all hope for. As an added treat, Kozak writes in a relaxed, personal style that makes you feel as if you’re in a conversation with him. This is the cream of the crop of books on mindfulness and is not to be missed.” —Toni Bernhard, author of How to Be Sick, How to Wake Up, and How to Live Well with Chronic Pain and Illness"Everything you need to know about mindfulness and how to practically and effectively implement it into your life for unconditional happiness can be found in this book!
