I'm Mindful, Now What?: Moving Beyond Mindfulness to Meet the Modern World by Andrew Holecek

*This book was received for free as a part of a Goodread’s Giveaway*
I really wanted to get into this book, but I couldn’t pull through. The text is WAY too heavy on quotations when it’s not always necessary, and the style is difficult to follow along with. It felt like reading a textbook.
I’m somewhat familiar with mediation, mindfulness, and the religious practices that overlap with these concepts- but the book was far too in its own sauce for someone like me to pick it up.
The introduction mentions beginner readers can simply read the chapters and skip the referential material at the end for the time being, but I genuinely have no idea how this book is beginner friendly. I’m not familiar with the author’s other works, so maybe he’s written a lighter book compared to this one. As is, I can’t say I enjoyed or felt taught by this book.
