About the Author

NINA PUREWAL faced an unexpected childhood tragedy which inspired her mindfulness and meditation journey twenty years ago. After climbing the corporate ladder for nearly a decade, she took a year sabbatical and moved to California to unplug and continue her pursuit for happiness. It’s been her greatest passion to help others find peace amidst the busyness and chaos. With that, she founded Pure Minds a company that conducts mindfulness and meditation workshops for the public and corporate sector.

KATE PETRIW is the founder of Mind Matters, an organization that holds mental health workshops focused on reducing stress and negative thinking patterns to inspire happiness. She first came across mindfulness and meditation five years ago while trying to resolve unchecked stress, sparked by the corporate grind. Impressed by the impact it had on her mood, relationships, and productivity - she wanted to share it with the world.

Editorial Reviews

11/30/2020

Purewal and Petriw, founders of, respectively, meditation workshops Pure Minds and Mind Matters, lay out strategies for using mindfulness to reduce stress in their amicable debut. The authors ground their methods for finding inner peace in practices such as deep breathing, observational thinking (which fights against a “chatty mind”), and counting one’s blessings. Most of the tips are quick and easy, such as breathing exercises one can do on a commute, “observing-mind” mindfulness for eating (“find peace while you chew”), and taking a 15-second “restorative break.” They also recommend making time to vent (such as a phone call with a friend where you “set an actual timer and then bitch your heart out”) and working to overcome blame in relationships (“When you blame, you are handing the reins to someone else and giving up control of your own life”). Above all, they push that readers should acknowledge suppressed emotions, “express them in every way,” and then let them go. While many of the concepts are simple, together they make for an appealing guide to daily mindfulness and stress relief. Those who liked Jen Sincero’s You Are a Badass will enjoy this. (Jan.)

"In the midst of these turbulent times, Purewal, founder of mindfulness meditation workshops company Pure Minds, and mental health workshop leader Petriw (Mind Matters) offer a way to cultivate calm and address things that get in the way. They discuss letting go of negative self-perceptions, regrets from the past, and anxieties about the future. They do that by teaching the practice of mindfulness—being able to find calm within. Steps toward becoming mindful include awareness, self-love, acceptance, perspective, authenticity, and forgiveness, and each of these are well defined. Above all, Purewal and Petriw reiterate the directive in the title to let go of the garbage and concentrate on the gifts inherent in daily living."-Library Journal
