Sample Book Insights:

#1 The advice to just live your life can have a dark side: it can lead us to turn our back on our most sacred privilege, our ability to choose our own path. We must commit ourselves to the idea that there are more possibilities than we normally see, and then make the effort to choose the best one for us.

#2 When we feel trapped, we must choose to choose. We must commit ourselves to looking for new ways to change our life, and find within ourselves the keys that will unlock the doors of the prison we are trapped in.

#3 Mindfulness is a choice we can make, and it is something we can practice. When our mind wanders, we can gently shift our focus back to the wonders that are everywhere to be found.

#4 The best way to become more mindful is to read and reread the essay Three Days to See by Helen Keller. Keller lost her sight and hearing at the age of nineteen months as a result of an illness, but she was given back the use of these senses for just three days.
