5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Gem of a Book, March 31, 2008
Length:: 1:59 Mins

*****
This little book is lovely as a gift for someone, especially yourself. It contains excerpts from Jon Kabat-Zinn's masterpiece "Coming to Our Senses", a tome about mindfulness and meditation. In this video I open the book, show you the layout and read two different quotes. I've kept the video to about two minutes in length. This is a book that anyone interested in living more serenely and more alive can enjoy, whether or not you've had the pleasure of reading the main book that it was excerpted from. Highly recommended!

A great way to present a book review for those of us who don't have access to the actual book. Viewing this clip is pretty much like picking up the book and actually browsing through it. Thanks for this great sharing.

Thank you so much, Josh! I will try to do more of these, and I so appreciate the feedback. Thanks, O.

I agree with you Josh. This video review gave me a much better sense of the book. Thank you O. Brown.

You are most welcome, Barry. I'll try to do more like this for books that are a bit different, like this one, where you really do gain a lot by seeing the book! Thanks for taking the time, O.

Nice idea, though most of the time I almost resent all of the news items that play as "movies"--too time-consuming. If those inspired by your example can limit themselves to 2 minutes or less, that will prevent a promising and useful practice from becoming ignored by the busy shopper and surfer.

I'm glad you commented, Samuel. I know that I have many movies that are longer, but I'm betting they get ignored by people more often than not because of time considerations. Great tip that I will keep in mind on all future videos. A big thank you, O.

Thank you, Lydia...Okay, so now I'm going to make some MORE videos. I've been writing more than video-ing, but I'm up for another one. I appreciate the thanks and the encouragement, Lydia. O.
