Book Description

November 1, 2011

Finding serenity every day...in the everyday things we do.

It can be a challenge to reach a calm and relaxed mindset, especially in our modern world. But in Shortcuts to Inner Peace, Ashley Davis Bush helps readers learn how to hit the pause button amidst the chaos with a spirit of mindfulness-linking fast, easy, and restorative respites to ordinary everyday activities.

Once people begin to integrate these shortcuts into their daily lives, they begin to happen automatically. And when that happens, inner peace will no longer be a brief state of mind, but a way of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who doesn't need Inner Peace?, November 7, 2011
This review is from: Shortcuts to Inner Peace: 70 Simple Paths to Everyday Serenity (Paperback)
If there is someone who doesn't need this book, i don't know who it is. Every day brings the opportunity to exercise one of these shortcuts. What I particularly like about this book is that Ashley Bush is right there on the ground with us, with many tips that she has developed from her own challenges in life. These are not shortcuts sent down from "on high" but rather wisdom she has developed from being in the middle of life. What a gift to us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Ashley Bush!, November 2, 2011
This review is from: Shortcuts to Inner Peace: 70 Simple Paths to Everyday Serenity (Paperback)
This book helps one to remember to enjoy life more. It is well written and easy to read. It is broken up into short segments, so you can just pick it up and read a section that feels relevant to you at a particular time. The methods are easy to implement and are helpful in remembering what is important. I look forward to reading at least a section each night before sleeping. I especially enjoy Ashley's short stories/examples to go with each 'shortcut-' the examples help to illustrate and remember the shortcut.
