Go here to check it out. Here is some info about the book:
From the back cover:
“Books about spirituality are usually deep, touching and philosophical. They make you want to think about the meaning of life, tell your friends about the secrets you found… and end up back where you started. This is not a book about spirituality, it’s a short cut to happiness. Direct, no-nonsense and down-to-earth, Oli Doyle is the meditation teacher you wish you had in high school. His secular, jargon-free approach to the practice of Mindfulness is putting people all over the world in charge of their own happiness (and putting psychiatrists out of business) by taking the mystery out of meditation. Oli spent years going from practice to practice and teaching to teaching in the modern spiritual marketplace. Confused and frustrated, he stumbled upon a simple path to happiness and wondered why no-one told him about it before! The simple practices described in “Mindfulness Plain & Simple” map the short path Oli eventually found, showing you how to find the happiness that’s already here right now.”
From the first chapter:
“Believing painful thoughts causes pain, even
when your life is wonderful, and nothing that happens to you can prevent you
from being peaceful and happy. Only listening to the voice in your head can do
that, and that is the human condition.” Mindfulness Plain & Simple

read, notice any insights that arise, as well as noticing the mind’s commentary
about what you are reading. This noticing is the start of freedom from thoughts,
so let us begin by working out what we are dealing with. (more…)
