The book discusses the essential elements required to experience joy and be in presence in each life moment. Processing and understanding emotions is an important topic theme discussed which reveals the connection between joy and presence. Kristin presents "living in presence" in a way that invites curiosity to discover what the vision looks like for each individual and what is getting in the way from experiencing it. The reader can expect to be guided through thought provoking questions and resources that assist them with accessing their own inner wisdom to make living in joy and presence possible. In his latest book, Kristin Larsen shares, "writing the book was always about creating a deep connection to self and others. I wanted to provide a tool of awakening, reflection and resources that help people discover new choices by seeing other perspectives, and to find inner peace through the daily habit of presence." The book encourages taking the journey within self to open the heart to connection of authentic acceptance and expression. "Joy resides fully embracing the present moment whatever it may contain - with appreciation and curiosity." Larsen shares this thought with an important question,, "Appreciating the joy in life isnโ€™t always easy. During moments of hardship, challenges, and setbacks, joy seems even less a part of our lives. Yet, deep inside we know that even during difficult times, joy is still within and around us. So why can we often not access it?" His intention is for the book to answer the question and give the reader the tools to access joy whenever they want, despite circumstance or situations. May this book offer you a way to create a vision of what presence and joy feels like in your life. Book Review 1: โ€œThis book is simply bursting with wise teachings, easeful exercises, and gentle prompts that show us how presence โ€” and by extension greater joy and fulfillment โ€” is absolutely possible for each of us.โ€ -- Leon VanderPol, Founder and Director of the Center For Transformational Coaching Book Review 2: โ€œThe Joy Of Being Mindfully Present book is an excellent tool to help access presence and joy in your life through its many ideas and actionable exercises.โ€ -- Gina Ryan, Host of The Anxiety Coaches Podcast Book Review 3: โ€œThe book balances ideas, reflection, practical exercises in a way that conveys a vital sense of being in presence and joy โ€“ Expressed beautifully throughout.โ€ -- Ralph Lewis, International leadership consultant and coach




Joy on Demand


Book Description

A long-awaited follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Search Inside Yourself shows us how to cultivate joy within the context of our fast-paced lives and explains why it is critical to creativity, innovation, confidence, and ultimately success in every arena. In Joy on Demand, Chade-Meng Tan shows that you donโ€™t need to meditate for hours, days, months or years to achieve lasting joyโ€”you can actually get consistent access to it in as little as fifteen seconds. Explaining joy and meditation as complementary things that naturally reinforce each other, Meng explains how these two skills form a virtuous cycle, and once put into motion, become a solid practice that can be sustained in daily life. For many years, meditation has been taught and practiced in cultures where almost all meditators practice full-time for years, resulting in training programs optimized for practitioners with lots of free time and not much else to do but develop profound mastery over the mind. Seeing a disconnect between the traditional practice and the modern world, the bestselling author and Googleโ€™s โ€œJolly Good Fellowโ€ has developed a program, through โ€œwise laziness,โ€ to help readers meditate more efficiently and effectively. Meng shares the three pillars of joy (inner peace, insight, and happiness), why joy is the secret is to success, and demonstrates the practical tools anyone can use to cultivate it on demand.

Buddha's Brain


Book Description

Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Gandhi, and the Buddha all had brains built essentially like anyone else's, yet they were able to harness their thoughts and shape their patterns of thinking in ways that changed history. With new breakthroughs in modern neuroscience and the wisdom of thousands of years of contemplative practice, it is possible for us to shape our own thoughts in a similar way for greater happiness, love, compassion, and wisdom. Buddha's Brain joins the forces of modern neuroscience with ancient contemplative teachings to show readers how they can work toward greater emotional well-being, healthier relationships, more effective actions, and deepened religious and spiritual understanding. This book will explain how the core elements of both psychological well-being and religious or spiritual life-virtue, mindfulness, and wisdom--are based in the core functions of the brain: regulating, learning, and valuing. Readers will also learn practical ways to apply this information, as the book offers many exercises they can do to tap the unused potential of the brain and rewire it over time for greater peace and well-being.
