I have just finished the book and was very impressed with it. I am in the RAAF and currently studying at ADFA as an advanced student. I can see this book being a great resource to have at my desk when my studies are complete and I have taken up leadership roles as an Officer. It has come at a good time as I have started to look in to mindfulness but never put the connection between that and leadership together. Everything makes sense and builds on skills I have learnt through previous leadership and promotion courses. I liked that the book is a good practical guide with tips that can be implemented straight away at work or in my daily life. The book is well presented and the information was easily digestible for any level. I learnt that mindfulness doesn’t need to be overly time consuming. It can also be implemented into many areas of our lives with minimal disruption. A few small changes can make a big difference to our effectiveness as leaders. I would recommend this book to anyone that has to interact with people regularly (Almost all of us!) It is as useful for a stay at home parent as it is the CEO of a major corporation.

I loved this book and learnt so many useful tips on how to apply mindfulness at both work and in my every day life. It is really quick and easy to read and it gets straight to the point without any of the fluffy stuff that you would expect to find in other books on mindfulness. This guide will appeal to a broad range of people including those starting off on their mindfulness journey, Managers who want to create a happier work environment, and people who are short on time and want some quick tips they can apply immediately.

I haven’t quite finished it yet. However what I have read so far is very true in the we behave. One thing that sticks is the wasted conversations we have. It has made me aware of those discussions that I have before an event that actually doesn’t take place. Working on reducing those. It’s timing that I’m reading this book as I’ve just started seeing a psychologist again with the struggles of post army service.

Your book is definitely worth the read.

Not being one who would be normally be drawn to a book of this nature or what it provides, I found it extremely beneficial. Admittedly, not all the suggestions are ones that appeal to me, however, some, were extremely pertinent and on point. Being honest, I saw things that I could, and have, put in place immediately after reading the book and I, along with my family have benefitted from it. I believe the value in this book lies in its different approach, easy to read layout and multiple suggestions coupled with examples. With the pressures that we all face in the various environments we revolve, I would recommend this book, and I challenge anybody not to find something of value and relevance within its covers. Thank you Rob, for opening my eyes that little bit more and the changes I have made because of your book.
