Cultivating Peace, Presence and Purpose in the Middle of It All
Jonathan Kaplan

Living in a city is very different from living in a rural or suburban environment. Life is faster paced, noisier, more crowded with people and traffic. There is far less nature, far more concrete. In many ways, it is easier to be unconscious, as human beings tend to tune too much stimuli out, set up psychic barriers by not smiling or engaging others on the street or subways, etc.

So being mindful in a city takes on its own particularities and textures. The author has created this very needed and useful book geared specifically to urban living. He has a lot of ideas and practices that can be done in the hustle and bustle of daily life without adding hours of meditation to already over-scheduled lives. Several involve nature, as it is proven that time spent in nature relaxes the mind and increases alertness and well-being. So walking mindfully in a city park or simply spending time with the plant in your office can be very helpful.

 Other suggestions are practicing acceptance when standing in long lines or crowded spaces; observing thoughts of judgment and aversion; mindfulness and appreciation of one's home and living space, however small it might be; mindfulness at work -- how you greet staff each day, how to put work aside at the end of the day, etc. Each practice is short and sweet and very doable. I highly recommend this gift of urban awareness and well-being!
