Created by the author who brought us 14,000 Things to Be Happy About, Instant Karma, 8,789 Words of Wisdom, and The Wish List, SELF MEDITATION is a compulsive, instantly accessible list of hundreds and hundreds of meditation practices that can be done during the course of our daily lives. You don’t need to go to a mountain retreat, renounce meat, or walk through coals on the soles of your feet—here’s a meditation to have with a cup of tea. A waiting-in-line meditation. Meditations while reading, eating, doing sit-ups, working, shopping, or finding yourself stuck in a traffic jam (especially while stuck in a traffic jam). There are breaths to take and praises to give, and throughout, ways to slow down and finally smell the roses—or hear the crickets—or see the stars. Drawn from spiritual practices as varied as Zen, yoga, Sufism, and insight meditation, it’s a delicious spiritual tonic that includes meditation basics, mantras and koans, tips, and more. A completely portable guide, so that at any moment of the day or night, we can all catch our inner breath.

This book has it all when it comes to inspiring quotes for daily life.
I love opening this book at random and seeing what "message" there may be for me! Sometimes that works and other times it is just for fun.

This small book is packed full of mood elevating statements and intellectual thoughts for a true attitude adjustment that could change your perspective on life. I have purchased 7 copies for friends and family who all agree with the power of the book. These books become written in and dog-eared. They suffer coffee stains as well. This book is an excellent traveling companion for tense trips. To be absolutely honest, the book is an inexpensive counseling trip. The content is broken up in to small segments so that you can just open it, on any page and read from there. Read until you feel some peace of mind come over you and skip around if you don¿t find a phrase that fits your needs. It¿s worth every penny I spent. Get yourself a little piece of mind and pick up a copy, or get two. You will not want to loan it.
