I got this book years ago with the intention of doing one section a week for the year (there’s 52), to learn more about Buddhism and how to implement its practices. I ended up reading a section daily because they are very small/quick, which is fine, but I found most sections to be very simple, not Educational, and sometimes just kinda meh. I was definitely looking for a more informative type book, which I have now found in “Buddhism 101” by Arnie Kozak.

I will say that the book did offer some nice life insights - it just wasn’t really what I was looking for and didn’t provide much as far as actually learning about Buddhist teachings. It’s a nice 5 minute thing to have in your morning routine tho!

‘Just One Thing’ was kindly provided to me by Netgalley for Smith Publicity.

This was a well written positive little how-to guide on how to be mindful of your happiness on a daily basis. This is a novel for everyone. It’s an easily understandable guide that doesn’t go into the ‘science’ of anything or even religion. This is definitely a great read for anyone interested in trying to make their days just a bit better.

The first time I read this novel I read it front to back and I enjoyed it. I did understand; however, that some of the situations the author would discuss didn’t necessarily apply to me at the time of reading. This is going to be a great book to keep on hand for whenever I encounter a situation where a little guidance is needed. I have a feeling the ‘Relax’ chapter will have its work cut out for it though. :)

It’s best understood if you’ve already come across some Zen Buddhism, meditate, or do therapy. Otherwise it might be frustrating to fill in some of the blanks.

A great introduction, and helpful for people who already practice mindfulness. You can read a single chapter easily so it’s a nice book to have on your shelf if you need a boost.
