Product Description
How would you like to change your entire life? By doing absolutely nothing? This book is the ultimate self-help guide for lazy-busy people. Those who regularly follow the do-nothing relaxation exercises found in the book will experience a surge of energy, power, clarity, and speed! They will also be the beneficiaries of the most sought-after exercise result: wait loss! Wait loss in getting the career you want! Wait loss in getting the love you want! Wait loss in getting whatever the heck you want! HOW TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE instructs readers to do nothing in a mindful way. For instance, they can do nothing while drinking their coffee (don't talk or think about problems) or do nothing when they should be doing their laundry (concentrate on the clean smell of the clothes). Readers of this book will discover a cheery, paradoxical life principle: sometimes the shortest distance between two points can be travelled by doing nothing at all.

Keep it close and (re-)read it whenever needed August 20, 2007

This is one of the books you'll read and then you put it somewhere where you can easily pick it up again and browse in it, to remind you of the many "do nothings".
There's one exercise that personally helped and still helps me a lot: when showering try to not think of anything else but cleansing your body. While I still rarely manage to not think of anything while showering, I am now restricting myself to positive and creative thoughts only and it WORKS :) The good ideas are coming!
The little book is full of energizing ideas, presented in a new, fun, appealing way. And now I am off to browse in it again...

There are 10 do-nothing exercises to calm you down quickly plus darling comments and quotes.
Actually they're not exactly do-nothing they're more rethink yourself to calm down, be happier and enjoy whatever you're doing or do the best at looking foward to what you want to do next.
Do nothing - zip - nothing - nada. Yes, often the key to changing your life isn't in doing more, more, more...but doing absolutely nothing but appreciating life. So don't just stand there and do nothing. Read this book...and start really doing nothing! (from the back of the book).
Remember I have just found out I have cancer on my lip and it has to be removed and find out if it's spread - there is NOTHING that is more important than enjoying your life while you can!

I've always been interested in meditation and mindfulness. This book was a great tool to get me motivated to practice mindfulness/meditation on a daily basis...and it was easy to read and understand...explaining the benefits for mind, body, spirit...and giving realistic exercises to incorporate easily into your life! I recommend this book not only as a self purchase ...but as a great gift to give a friend who's been complaining about being stressed out. It's terrific!

This book is a quick read and reread. The authour mixes up the presentation of the book. It is simple and basic, easy to understand and do. The author not only tells you why doing nothing works but tells you how to do it. Alot of books I have read leave that part out. The author doesn't speak down to you either. I bought another copy for a friend and am considering future purchases for other friends. Well worth the money. I have also purchased 2 of her other books after having read them in the bookstore. Good luck doing nothing.

Fun book. Some may call these exercises Zen-like, but I see them as closer to Alfred Jarry's 'Pataphysical Science. Either way, Be Here Now.
