The Practice: Simple Tools for Managing Stress, Finding Inner Peace, and Uncovering Happiness

When Barb Schmidt’s book The Practice is discovered by the masses she will have done for meditation and mindfulness what Dr. Oz has and is doing for personal health. Like Dr. Oz she understands that the how always trumps the what. So many people know what they should do and want to do but they don’t know how to do it. Most individuals understand the importance and benefits of mindfulness, calmness and being focused but they don’t know how to achieve it. As a competent professional guide, the author provides “the how” in easy to understand language. Better yet it is compatible with all spiritual and religious traditions. It is based on over 20 years of her personal disciplined practice and comprehensive research. Her writing style embodies and demonstrates the combined skills of an excellent teacher, quality trainer and a mentor. Any person desiring and committed to becoming more mindful should benefit from her work.

I have known Barb Schmidt for many years, and reading her new book, The Practice, was a great journey for me on a couple of levels. First, it was a concise introduction for me into the spiritual world that she has been exploring all of these years. Her book puts The Practice into a context that can be understood by those who haven't been on her long journey, and I think people will embrace the simple, practical structure that she has laid out. Second, it was especially meaningful to me on a personal level, providing me greater insight into the wonderful woman I already knew so well. I feel privileged to have shared, through reading the book, this important part of her life, and look forward to incorporating the principles of The Practice into my own.

Good read for sure. Thank you for sharing such hearty information. Much learning occurred. Now to be sure to practice

Would recommend this book to everyone that is looking to learn about meditation or expand there meditation practice!

This is a really basic book. But she has the answers to most of my questions about meditating. I'm reading it for the second time now, marking the pages and passages that are really helpful to me. She tells you what she's been through and makes you feel that you can do it, that it's not that hard, and that it's beneficial. I'm new to meditating. She gives you very clear examples to illustrate her point. So you really can relate to what she's trying to tell you. I like this book and would recommend it to someone who is struggling with meditation.

Ordered not to long ago and it in the mail recently I can’t wait to read this book!

A great book to guide people towards a lasting spiritual practice. I truly believe this will help people cultivate their own versions of inner peace and promote lasting happiness. Barb seems to have a vast experience with spirituality and inner work and has the ability to touch the heart of every reader. I also love the size of the book, I can throw it in my purse and carry it with me at any time :)

Me ha tardado un mes en llegar porque viene de USA, pero viene en perfecto estado. Nuevo y sin dobleces.

I learned how to meditate! The way it was explained encouraged me to try. Now I practise everyday. Her advice is spot on and her Facebook page is a great way to follow in from her book!

I love it!Very ease reading, I am from Brazil and the English content was accessible. I’ve learned many other words for known words. Also, have learned the Practice!With this book you will understand how to handle with mental chatter instead of losing yourself by your own mind. Worth it, was everything that I need to hear! Thanks, Barb for sharing you history!
