It is there in our breath or a gentle touch. (It is even here right now as you are reading this.) Yet, it is so elusive. The present moment is always there, and yet, we are often unaware of it.

Kessler combines history and biology with personal anecdotes to set up a series of practices - the simple acts - that are fundamental to our human experience and facilitate access to the present moment. For instance, learn how the mundane act of walking can transform the way you think and how you interact with the world at large. This book includes tales from astronaut and Senator John Glenn, Oprah, and many others that help to demonstrate the positive impact presence can have in our own lives.

Simple Acts

opens up a conversation to empower us to fully step into the present moment and open ourselves up to a whole new set of possibilities. From here we can engage our families more deeply, show up more completely at work, and begin to change the broken systems in the world that are no longer serving us.
