“The book is a multi-layered, stress-reduction gold mine.” (Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing Insights, October 2011)“McCown and Micozzi also explore the history of mindfulness in this country in a tone at once scholarly and accessible, using the evocative stories of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau as exemplars of the practice. Quotes from other mindfulness practitioners, both ancient and modern, are woven throughout the book, allowing readers to understand the concept from multiple perspectives and reinforcing the author’s idea that mindfulness is multifaceted.” (Jill Allen, Foreword Magazine)“...for those who’ve thought mindfulness is just too ‘foreign’ or who need that extra push to give it a try, this book might just do it for you. After all, if Jefferson and Thoreau tried it, it can’t be all bad.” (Greater Good)“InNew World Mindfulnesstherapist Donald McCown and physician Marc Micozzi show how to integrate the seemingly difficult process of mindfulness into real life. History comes alive with insights from the American founding fathers, Thoreau and other mindfulness pioneers, helping you to create a high-speed form of contemplation.” (New Connexion)
