"Stress is woven into the fabric of our life," writes the author, and it is often connected with worry, irritation, anger, fear, and difficult relationships. In order to help us deal with this pervasive malaise, Emet has come up with 15 meditation exercises designed to facilitate a more relaxed attitude. Among them are smiling, labeling thoughts, letting go and being present, listening to sensations, waking up in the morning, at the bus stop, and turning burdens into flowers.
We like the everydayness of these meditations which appear under three thematic modules: The Mind, Control and Acceptance, and Change. Perhaps the most appealing thought in this innovative text is Emet's suggestion that instead of retiring from work, we retire from stress!
