The Little Book of Being

Norah Tocci narrates in the calm and deliberate cadence of a seasoned meditation teacher. This exciting new work from the director of Mindfulness Education at UCLA expands the secular mindfulness meditation field to include a wide spectrum of natural awareness practices. The collection of essay-style mini-chapters seeks to cultivate an open awareness that resembles the timeless, effortless wonder of childhood. By keeping a brisk pace, Tocci's performance works as well for the autobiographical material as the guided meditation sessions. Personal stories about teaching and explanations of techniques are cleverly balanced with dozens of "glimpse practices"--in-the-moment questions designed to ignite awareness. The listener can immediately sink deeply into the audiobook's many guided-awareness practices. J.T. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
