Michael H. Brooks is dedicated to sharing the teachings of mindfulness in an approachable and humorous format. Since 2004 he has been teaching meditation and mindfulness classes and workshops in both Northern and Southern California to a wide-ranging audience—from stressed company executives to enthusiastic soccer moms. Additionally, Michael has worked for over twenty years in the field of computer technology. As a result, he has a strong understanding of what it means to live and work in the world, and what it’s like to cope with stressful office and personal politics.
His writing comes out of his personal experience using mindfulness to navigate his own challenging states of mind, as well as the transformations he has been privileged to observe in others. This book grew out of his deep desire to make the teachings of mindfulness accessible to a wider audience in a logical and approachable format.
“Earlier this week I was fortunate enough to receive an advanced copy of “This. Only this. Mindfulness Strategies for Discovering Peace in Every Moment” by Michael Brooks. When it arrived and as I browsed through the contents, my first reaction was, “Man is this thorough!” Most books on mindfulness tend to introduce you to the practice and provide a few exercises. Others only give you the exercises while making the assumption that you already know what you’re doing. This book doesn’t do that. It takes you from the seed of “What is Mindfulness” to the full blown realization of how to incorporate it into your daily life.”
