The author writes: "I've written this for absolute or near beginners, who would like to bring mindfulness into their lives . . . or who are struggling with:

- Procrastination

- Creating better habits

- Frustration, disappointment, feeling stuck

- Relationship problems

- Being content

"I've found that mindfulness is the fundamental skill to deal with any of these struggles. And in this short book-which you can read in one sitting if you feel like it-I not only talk about why this is true, but I also share some simple exercises for developing the skills to deal with any of these struggles.

"I don't promise miracles, and you'll have to do the exercises to get decent at these skills. But they work, in my experience, and I hope they help you."
