Student and Reader of Jerry Braza

I am a student of Jerry Braza's and have taken several classes with him; it was his Healthy Relationships class that made me want to read this book. This book was everything I thought it would be. It is simple, straightforward, but not lacking in insight - which is very much the way Jerry lives his life. This book gives simple activities to do in order to relieve stress and to be mindful of staying in the now. Gold Star!

Highly recommended for those seeking the profound rewards of stress-free lifestyle!

I noted that quite a lot of books about the art & practice of mindfulness are generally written with esoteric connotations. I have found this particular one to be rather pragmatic. Although it has less than hundred pages, I like the straight talk writing style, and plenty of question time for pondering & reflection for the reader. As Bruce Lee, whose fists shook the martial world, once said, "Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do!" The author has suggested many simple exercises to apply the practice of mindfulnesss to our daily lives. In this respect, he has done a great job. I highly recommend this book for those seeking the profound rewards of stress-free lifestyle, improved health, & greater peace of mind.

A concise description of how to practice mindfulness

Mindfulness has given me the tools to practice "meditation in action." In other words, how to take the awareness achieved during meditation and apply it to my every day life. Dr. Braza's book, "Moment by Moment," is a wonderful introduction for anyone interested in finding out about mindfulness, as well as a daily companion for those already practicing it. I think the most important ingredients of this book are in the practical, concrete suggestions on how to practice mindfulness during the many activities of the day. It is very easy to get "lost" in our busy world, but by learning to become aware of our breath, we are able to be more conscious of the present moment. Dr. Braza's book offer's us the opportunity to increase this moment by moment awareness.William Wright, Chairman, Board of Directors, Mindfulness Practice Center, Inc.

Perhaps the finest introduction to mindfulness available.

I have read Moment tby Moment cover to cover many times and find new informations with each read. I have a copy of Dr. Braza's book at my office and in my home as it constantly provides me with reminders and lessons on how to live a fuller life by being truly present in my daily activities. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone.

One of the clearist descriptions of mindfulness available.

The author of this book describes many practical applications of mindfulness and how to use it in one's everyday life. I found a wealth of information on how to reduce stress, enhance concentration and live more joyfully. I recommend this book to all my students and clients. It's clear, concise and informative without the Eastern jargon or slant. I love this book. Jack Curtis, Professor of Health Science, UW-La Crosse
