This book is both simple and powerful. It gives one example after another to credit mindfulness as an essential way to deal with all our problems and world problems by living in the moment and with awareness. One suggestion I found particularly healing was that we all need a Breathing Room, separate and sparsely filled with a few cushions, a beautiful sounding bell and a vase of flowers. "That little room should be regarded as an Embassy of the Kingdom of Peace. It should be respected, and not violated by anger, shouting or things like that." It's a room for "refuge".
