The Mindful Man: Words from the Earth (Mindfulness series)

A beautifully structured book, full of practical wisdom and rooted in a deep connection with nature. What comes across most strongly is the author's passion and integrity: these are far more than theoretical exercises and re-cycled sayings - they are rooted in the life experience of someone who clearly walks his talk. This is a call to mindfulness which moved and encouraged me - highly recommended!

Like many men I know at this point in time, i've been doing my best to hit the pause button and take an honest look at the way i've been living my life... Dealing with the feelings of guilt and shame as i became aware of how i'd behaved in my pit of ignorance and confusion whilst an adolescent, left me a bit numb for many years, until i connected with mindfulness and meditation grounded in the body.This book is another honest and insightful guide on the path to transforming my relationship with emotional and psychological states which i've struggled with through many years.I'm fortunate to have connected with elders and mentors as i entered my 30's and it's clear to me now, that there is a real crisis in our materialistic culture which has led to an epidemic of arrested development, in men... Thankfully we can transform our relationship with everything which has weighed us down and many men are realising this from what i can see.Caspar offers a connection to the golden thread of mindfulness, grounded in the body and the natural environment and some straightforward and practical exercises which help to remind me how to stay centred and evolve with whatever arises.It's clear that he's offering these insights from deep personal experience and this is one of those books that can be picked up and dipped into whenever i need some wise company and there's nobody around me physically....There's nothing complicated about this book but the wisdom contained within the pages allows me to navigate through complexity which used to perplex me.There will be a man in your life who will appreciate this book...
