MINDFULNESS: The Art of Being Present

What if the problem isn’t what has happened to you, but the fact that you haven’t been present to experience it for years?
Science has put a figure on it: we spend almost half of our waking lives thinking about something other than what we are doing. And Harvard studies confirm this — the further the mind is from the present moment, the more intense the unhappiness, regardless of what one is thinking about.
A wandering mind is, statistically speaking, a mind that suffers.
We live in a civilisation that has turned distraction into a way of life. Rates of anxiety, depression and mental exhaustion are constantly rising — paradoxically at the very time when we have more access than ever to entertainment, information and social connection.
MINDFULNESS: The Art of Being Present is the most comprehensive, rigorous and accessible guide written in Spanish on the practice of mindfulness.
Across twenty-six chapters organised into six parts, Albert Zaid constructs a map unprecedented in Spanish-language mindfulness literature: a work that is at once encyclopaedic in scope and deeply personal in tone.
Whether you have never meditated or have been on the path for years, here you will find the answers that most self-help and beginner’s meditation books have not dared to formulate — with the depth you deserve and the clarity you need.
The present has always been home. This book is the way back.
