The Practicing Mind: Bringing
Discipline and Focus Into Your Life
by Thomas M. Sterner
Practical Spirituality
Present moment awareness is an essential ingredient in life if one expects
to experience any degree of authentic peace and contentment. It has
been acknowledged for centuries as the cornerstone of spiritual awakening
in all traditions of Eastern thought. In the West, however, it is still a
relatively unrecognized concept of living. The Western mind is always
restless, never content with the moment. Its internal dialogue is always
firing off thoughts filled with emotional content and pulling the individual out
of the present and into the past or future. But individuals raised in
Western culture are becoming increasingly more aware of their overall
sense of mental exhaustion, their lack of discipline and their inability to
focus on demand. They are willing to expend the energy necessary to
experience inner peace and a quiet mind that is waiting to follow the
direction of their will. They are realizing that the endless struggle to fulfill

the insatiable appetite of instant gratification is fruitless and tiresome at
best. They are ripe for a new path in life and eager for a new set of
instructions. This is the purpose of The Practicing Mind. It
comprehensively deals with helping the individual understand exactly what
present moment awareness is, how we are raised in a manner
contradictory to this, and how we change our mindset to make this a part
of our daily living. This book is accessible to readers of all philosophical
backgrounds. Regardless of your perspective, you will find the books
insights most compelling.
Now the wisdom of both The Practicing Mind and The Meditating Mind are
available in the new package: The Total Mindset.
Personal Review: The Practicing Mind: Bringing Discipline and
Focus Into Your Life by Thomas M. Sterner
Thomas Sterner's audio presentation of the Practicing Mind has been very
helpful to me as I work at "quieting my mind." As he states in the book:
there are not that many ideas in this book, just a few. This book is about
truths that we all know at some level. But we need to be reminded of them
on a regular basis, otherwise everyday life can steal away the clarity and
perspective that can be gained by living in accordance with the eternal
truths presented in this wonderful book. In my opinion, implementing the
strategies explained in this audio book would probably help most people
experience less anxiety and/or depression. And, very importantly, my
experience so far has been that the strategies are surprisingly easy to
implement. Stated differently, Thomas Sterner has presented strategies
for reducing anxiety and/or depression that require a minimal amount of
effort and that help to minimize the sense of struggle involved in the
process.
