Away & Aware: A Field Guide to Mindful Travel by Sara Clemence

2.0

I think I read an article about this book on some travel website (Afar? Travel + Leisure?) and the premise immediately hooked me. After reading it, perhaps ironically, I think this could have just been an article published online and been great. It would make a great gift for a traveler or mindful person, but for me I read a lot of these and my reaction was either like “duh,” “no way,” or “hmm maybe.” It’s very short and to the point. Most of the pages are made up of simple watercolor illustrations. I would have liked it more if it was more in-depth.
