description: In our frantic fast paced society we need constant guidance to remind us that we can only find the peace of mind we sorely lack by looking inward. Judaism like many other spiritual traditions offers a unique path to cultivating fulfillment and presence of mind. In cultivating peace of mind we do not aim to achieve transcendence. Rather our goal is to enter fully into whatever is occurring in our lives and meet it with full presence. But being a better Jew and a happier person are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary they are mutually interdependent. From the moment we wake to the moment we fall asleep biblical commandments provide us with guidelines that encourage us to be aware of the present moment. A Guide to Jewish Mindfulness provides concise and clear instructions on how to cultivate peace of mind in order to attain a life of greater commitment and inspiration for the present moment.
