Living the Mindful Life A Handbook for Living

Being awake. Why is something that sounds so simple the primary goal of so many of the world's great wisdom traditions? In this workshop-in-a-book, Charles T. Tart shows why: the seeming simplicity of the awakened state belies its transformative effect on the lives of those who strive for it. His easy-to-use exercises put within everyone's reach the elusive art of "waking up" to life in the glorious present moment.

Charles T. Tart, Ph.D., is internationally known as an authority on the interface between psychology, spirituality, and mindfulness practice. He is Professor of Psychology at the University of California at Davis and author of such classic books as Altered States of Consciousness; Transpersonal Psychology; and Waking Up: Overcoming the Obstacles to Human Potential.
