Library Journal Review

Written as a follow-up to Brantley (founder, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Prog., Ctr. for Integrative Medicine, Duke Univ.) and certified holistic nutrition counselor Millstine's Five Good Minutes: 100 Morning Practices To Help You Stay Calm & Focused All Day Long, this guide offers practices for relaxing, connecting with loved ones, and getting rest and renewal. The authors base their recommendations on the concept of mindfulness, or paying attention in a welcoming way that endeavors to understand one's experience without trying to anticipate a specific outcome. For five designated minutes every evening, readers are instructed to be present mindfully, set a clear intention, and act wholeheartedly. Geared toward the more spiritual person, this book offers a path to serenity and should enjoy decent circulation, especially among the Oprah crowd. Recommended for most public libraries.
