Present Moment Awareness

In his ground-breaking first book, Shannon Duncan explains what it means to be present; helps to discover the causes of our stress and discontent that so often interfere with our enjoyment of life, and offers a series of simple but enlightening concepts designed to help you build your level of present moment awareness.

Being present in the moment gives you the ability to open yourself to a nearly limitless array of new opportunities to genuinely enjoy your life. In learning to live in the present, you are discovering how to set aside emotional baggage from the past and worries about the future in order to appreciate the enriching experiences that you have available to you right here and right now.

This extraordinary book takes you by the hand and guides you through the process of not only developing a deeper understanding of what value lies in present moment awareness, but also shows you, in an evolving succession of concepts, examples and exercises, the ways in which we often lose sight of it. In these pages you will learn not just the principles behind present moment awareness, but simple, practical ways to apply those principles and increase your enjoyment of every day.

By distilling years of personal research and experience in psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and meditation into this brief, easy-to-understand guide to awareness, Shannon has created a work that can bring about rapid and profound changes in how you see the world and how you live your life.
