"A work of art in its own right, and a meditative tour de
force."--Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Wherever You Go, There You
Are
"A masterpiece....Christophe Andre, takes a wholly fresh approach
to mindfulness, offering beautiful paintings as the starting points
for meditation....Everything about this book is exquisite: its
language, its instruction, and its gentle insistence that each of
us has to practice cultivating this clarity for ourselves. I
whole-heartedly recommend it."--Mark Williams, Emeritus Professor
of Clinical Psychology, University of Oxford "A poetic,
compassionate guide to mindfulness, offering a fresh and thoughtful
path."--Publisher's Weekly "In this internationally best-selling
book, French psychiatrist Andre guides the reader through the
practice of mindfulness to art itself. Using color photographs of
classic and modern works, the author shows readers how to quiet the
outer world and intensify their presence in the moment, neither
trying to escape it or change it. Andre responds to each art piece
in terms of feelings and sensory perceptions, helping readers to
visualize themselves inside the canvas, smelling, hearing, and
really seeing the scene. A fascinating book, suitable for those who
are interested in art or the discipline of mindfulness."--Library
Journal
