"""Ed and Deb bring compassion and heart to a modern world where it is sorely missed."" - Ram Dass author of Be Here Now Behind the dramas and conflicts of life, there exists a quiet inner place where mindfulness and meditation can help us reside. The sanity and brilliance of this combination can awaken inner strength, foster kindness and fearlessness, and invite radical change. Discover how to transform your life from the inside out with the profound benefits of a calm and stress-free mind.The Unexpected Power of Mindfulness and Meditation features personal insights from visionary leaders - Matthew Fox, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Marianne Williamson among them - who discuss their methods of maintaining mental health and happiness. ""Treat this book as you would a cookery book. You wouldn't just read recipes; you'd try them out. Like cookery, meditation only makes sense if you experience it."" - His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Nobel Peace Prize laureate ""Ed and Deb remind us all just how important it is to look after the health and happiness of the mind. With warmth and humor, they show us how to integrate the timeless qualities of awareness and compassion into everyday life."" - Andy Puddicombe, founder of HEADSPACE ""Mindfulness is the awareness that arises when we pay attention to the present moment. It accesses us to core aspects of our mind that our very sanity depends on, as does our capacity to live wholeheartedly in this crazy world."" - Jon Kabat-Zinn, mindfulness teacher ""I can be as nuts as the next person, living in a world like we live in with the craziness and chaos. It takes work to retain our sanity in the midst of all that, and to me meditation is the most powerful tool for doing so."" - Marianne Williamson, New York Times bestselling author of A Return to Love ""Ed and Deb Shapiro are two warm, caring, and capable individuals. Their work makes our planet a safer and more loving place to live."" - Bernie Siegel, M.D., bestselling author of Love, Medicine and Miracles ""If there is one book you read about meditation, this should be the one. Hear about some of the cool people who do it, why you should do it, and how."" - Sharon Gannon, Jivamukti Yoga ""What an accomplishment! Ed and Deb's profoundly unique book offers a one-stop shop for those engaged in mindfulness and meditation. The direct transmission contained in this book can take us one step further. We find it especially useful to help stabilize spiritual activism in these challenging times and we'll refer it widely."" - John Steiner and Margo King, transpartisan activists ""I hope that your work is reaching many. It deserves it and so do they."" - Stephen Levine, international bestselling author  ""Acceptance of what is, that is meditation. This book will help you make friends with your mind. Ed and Deb are spreading love in the world; be a part of it!"" - Parmita Pushman, White Swan Records ""The pausing has been profound. It has invited me to arrive in the here and now with my child clients, and to accept whatever happens without judging."" - Megan Cronin Larson, play therapist ""The wonderful Shapiros are a conduit of joy and spiritual energy that heals hearts on their subtle level."" - Dr. Lex Hixon, author of Coming Home ""Ed and Deb make a connection to their friends' spirit. They then bring their spiritual energy all over the world for world peace."" - Kitaro, Golden Globe Award- and Grammy Award-winning musician"
