Editorial Reviews

"Noah Rasheta has proven himself to be a unique and clear voice in the crowded segment of mindfulness writing. Noah makes it easy for those new to the subject of mindfulness, and seasoned practitioners alike, by highlighting the essence of tricky ideas like 'You Are Not Your Thoughts.' The use of a journal format invites the reader to be more than just a reader, but an active mindfulness participant with a gentle teacher."— Wendy Shinyo Haylett, Buddhist teacher, lay minister, and host of the podcast Everyday Buddhism: Making Everyday Better

"Most people don't know where to start when it comes to mindfulness and when they do try, they may find themselves discouraged. The Five-Minute Mindfulness Journal answers this dilemma. Noah Rasheta leads us through a series of self-discovery promoting prompts and exercises that encourage the reader to not just read about mindfulness but to practice it in the moment. Rasheta has brought us a wonderful guide that allows our inner student and inner teacher to meet in the practice of mindfulness itself and shows us how to bring that into everyday life."—Christopher Kakuyo Leibow, Sensei of the Salt Lake Buddhist Fellowship

“The 5-Minute Mindfulness Journal is a great tool for practicing mindfulness. Noah Rasheta presents mindfulness in such a simple yet meaningful manner. This journal is a powerful tool to become more introspective and contemplative."—Reverend Koyo S. Kubose, president, Bright Dawn Center of Oneness Buddhism
