How to Catch a Turtle: An Introduction to Mindfulness

Drawing on lessons from renowned teachers such as Dr. Rick Hanson, Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, and Eckhart Tolle, David Franklin shares his personal evolution from a hare-like, fast-paced mentality to a more mindful, turtle-like approach to life.

Through anecdotes, reflections, and modern interpretations of timeless fables like "The Tortoise and the Hare," Franklin explores the importance of balance in our hectic lives. He emphasizes the power of slowing down, cultivating resilience, and finding harmony between action and stillness. By blending Eastern wisdom with Western psychology, he offers practical insights and strategies for readers to integrate mindfulness, presence, and purpose into their daily routines. "How to Catch a Turtle" is more than just a self-help book; it's a call to awaken the conscious mind and reclaim agency over one's life.

With warmth, humor, and sincerity, Franklin encourages readers to embrace the rabbit's energetic pace and the turtle's steady perseverance, finding fulfillment and joy in the delicate dance between the two. Ultimately, "How to Catch a Turtle" guides discovering inner peace, fostering resilience, and achieving balance in an increasingly chaotic world. It invites readers to embark on their journey of self-discovery, learning how to slow down, savor life's moments, and catch their own metaphorical turtle.
