“This tremendous book offers a thorough summary of current research on mindfulness and a highly practical program for developing greater mindfulness in daily life. Sensible, balanced, and so clearly written, readers will gain a deep understanding of why to be mindful as well as how to do it." -Rick Hanson, author of Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom

“A rigorously-researched book which sorts through all the hype to tell us what a mindfulness meditation practice does and doesn’t do.” -Mark Waldman, Executive MBA Faculty, Loyola Marymount University and author of NeuroWisdom: The New Brain Science of Money, Happiness, and Success

What does it mean to live a mindful life? It may surprise you to learn that it takes more than a meditation practice to act mindfully – you need to develop skills and strategies to intentionally practice what matters most to you. A daily dose of mindful moments is pausing regularly to take mindful action for yourself or others. The good news is it’s easy and takes little time to weave mindfulness into your day.

In this ground-breaking book, Barbara Larrivee blends the science of mindfulness and happiness and offers a wealth of brief, evidence-based strategies drawn from decades of research in positive, cognitive and social psychology and neuroscience. You’ll find more than 100 options for mindful moments to help you stay balanced despite life’s challenges.

With a daily dose of mindful moments you can:
• Bring mindfulness into every day

• Develop the skills needed to make mindfulness a way of life

• Tailor your practice to uphold your highest values

• Add endless variety to your daily mindfulness practice

Sometimes you find a gem!

February 1, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Sometimes you find a gem. For me, this is that book. If you want a happier, healthier life right now, then pick up a copy of A Daily Dose of Mindful Moments. You cannot possibly get more bang for your buck, so to speak, than this insightful book. It will make you feel more aware and alive--not just my thoughts, but based in scientific research. And the beauty of this is that you do not need to do the heavy research. Author Barbara Larrivee has done it for you. Did you know that the brain has a built-in negativity bias? Researchers believe this is a result of our early ancestors having to survive constant threat. So, for us to achieve any happiness, we really do have to work at it to counteract the negative. This book gives you so much information and easy steps to set you on that journey. As Larrivee says in The Last Word section: "If you take one message from this book it's to be deliberate and intentional about practicing what you want to be front and center in your life."

Barbara Larrivee translates decades of research into an easy to implement plan for daily mindfulness practice

February 5, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A Daily Dose of Mindful Moments invites the reader to be transformed. Barbara Larrivee translates decades of research into an easy to implement plan for daily mindfulness practice. Whether you read this book with a beginner’s mind or you are a seasoned practitioner, you will identify strategies to utilize immediately. The author invites the reader to draw the distinction between being mindful and acting mindfully. She honors that belief by donating half of the profits from the book to fund grants that will enable educators to implement mindful moment practices. This is certainly a time to put in place practices that will create balance and compassion in our lives!

A manual for making mindfulness a way of life

February 6, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

In A Daily Dose of Mindful Moments, Barbara Larrivee distinguishes between "being" and "doing" as applied to the practice of mindfulness, endorsing that it takes consistent action to make mindfulness a way of life. Her definition of mindfulness aligns self-reflective "awareness" and here and now "attention" with actionable "intention" to offer a process that can lead to living our personal sense of higher self. By making mindful moments a practice, we can act with greater mindfulness, bring more pleasure into our lives, and keep daily stresses from escalating. It’s an invitation to be more mindful in everything we do.

January 30, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

As an educator and yoga teacher, I have been looking for ways to help my students manage their stress as it occurs" in the moment." There are many opportunities to learn about causes of stress, lifestyle modifications that can mediate the stress response, and long-term solutions and plans to manage stress. As a student and practitioner of meditation, I agree with Ms. Larravee's summary of her experience with meditation and the expectation for dramatic results.
I became discouraged that I could not help my students with these long-term solutions and I began to focus on day to day, brief interventions that could shift negative energy to positive energy. This book is a gem mine of interventions that do just that. Educators will embrace this book and find it tremendously easy to use in the classroom and students will be able to take these practices with them into their everyday lives.

Comprehensive and Powerful

February 5, 2018

Format: Paperback

Drawing upon her background in teaching and research, Barbara Larrivee has written a comprehensive book on the power of a mindfulness approach to life. The first half of the book provides an overview of mindfulness and the research that supports its use. This section of the book ends with a chapter on “positive psychology” which is a segue to the second part of the book. For readers not interested in research, she includes user-friendly “research recaps” that provide succinct summaries of research findings.

In the second half of the book, she takes the somewhat abstract concept of mindfulness and makes it concrete, by providing examples from her own life and numerous bulleted recommendations for how one can apply mindfulness behavior. Her book expands upon the typical mindfulness practice of sitting quietly for a period of time and noting one’s breath or using a mantra, and recommends embedding mindful actions throughout the day. These are discussed in terms of increasing our levels of gratitude and kindness to others, reducing stress, and showing compassion to self and others; behaviors that will increase one’s quality of life.

As a result of this expanded focus, this book will appeal to the seasoned meditator, anyone who is exploring meditation as a beginner, and readers who are looking to imbue their lives with more purpose, meaning, and personal connections. Its message is universal and timely.
