The book, with a Peter Kreeft foreword, explains and encourages "mindfulness." Dr. Greg Bottaro advocates "mindfulness," because it enables us to be more there in the present moment as we live day by day. It's about realistically and actually being more present as we engage circumstances, the world in which we live, the people around us -- and yes, even those situations that challenge and frustrate us. The book ushers us through the process of learning about ourselves as God's beloved which releases us to the wholesomeness of loving ourselves. The overarching theme is to be ever growing in our trust of God as we journey through life. It helps us discover the sweetness of ever more gradually abandoning ourselves to God. Therein is found greater rest, peace and security. Dr. Bottaro offers exercises within the eight chapters of the book of 192 pages, inclusive of two appendices. 4.5 stars I wish I had the time to read this more leisurely than I did (one of the downsides of borrowing from the library; free but you can't keep books forever). I do think this is useful and it helps to actually do the exercises. Bottaro also grounds everything in the Catholic faith so you don't have anything to worry about.

Whether we are carrying out routine life behaviors, trying to pray, or conversing with others, the way our minds work significantly impacts how well we function. But many times we may feel like our mind has a mind of its own. -- You fall into bed exhausted at the end of the day, craving a good night's sleep, only to have your mind race in a million directions. -- Prayer is an exercise in futility, full of distractions and wandering thoughts. -- In the midst of a conversation, you suddenly realize you haven't heard a word the other person has said.-- You arrive at a destination with no recollection of how you got there. These all-too-common occurrences are examples of of how our minds can seem to be completely out of our control. We end up merely going through the motions day after day, feeling anxious and preoccupied. But it doesn't have to be that way. Dr. Greg Bottaro explains how mindfulness can help us become aware of the present moment and accept it. Catholic mindfulness is a way to practically trust God more in our lives. Instead of separating faith from day-to-day life, mindfulness helps bridge the gap so we can feel the sense of safety and peace God intends us to have. Following the simple exercises in this book, you'll discover how mindfulness can help you be more present to everything in your life from a trip to the grocery store or relaxing with friends to listening more attentively to a homily or meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary.
