The perfect companion to the bestselling The Practice of Not Reacting, this practical handbook transforms Buddha's wisdom into 50 actionable daily exercises that anyone can practice at the office, on the commute, or even while doing household chores.

Author Ryushun Kusanagi, a Buddhist monk and bestselling author, has distilled ancient mindfulness techniques into bite-sized practices designed for busy modern lives. His core message: every challenge is an opportunity to train your mind. By adopting the mantra Everything is practice, readers learn to transform daily frustrations into mental training sessions.
