Každý člověk reaguje na náročné a stresující situace jinak, vždy je však důležité uvědomit si, co můžeme a nemůžeme ovlivnit. Nemá smysl trápit se tím, co je mimo naši kontrolu, a na druhou stranu je dobré investovat energii do pozitivního řešení věcí, jež ovlivnit dokážeme. Máme totiž možnost volby – nejsme otroky událostí, a dokonce ani svých návyků či automatických myšlenek – ty můžeme změnit. Joseph Emet ukazuje, jak prostřednictvím bdělé pozornosti a meditace snižovat hladinu stresu, žít bděle a vědomě a nacházet tak konstruktivní řešení každodenních problémů. Autor je žákem proslulého buddhistického mistra Thich Nhat Hanha.
Joseph Emet je žákem buddhistického mistra Thich Nhat Hanha, který mu předal nejen zásady Buddhova učení, ale i meditační techniku založenou na bdělé pozornosti. A právě tuto metodu Emet využívá k odstraňování poruch spánku, protože je to přirozený způsob a je prokázáno, že příznivě působí na psychické problémy, jako například stres, deprese a stavy úzkosti, kterými dnes trpí mnoho lidí. Kniha je rozdělena na dvě části a spojuje buddhistickou moudrost s praktickými meditačními cvičeními. První část objasňuje, proč je bdělá meditace vhodná k řešení problémů se spánkem, a detailně uvádí praktické postupy při jejím provádění. Druhá část obsahuje sedm zvláštních cvičení, která se provádějí těsně před spaním a ve chvílích, kdy člověk nemůže usnout. Joseph Emet nabízí zcela nový pohled na otázku, proč je tak těžké usnout po vyčerpávajícím dni, a názorně ukazuje, jak se tyto problémy dají řešit právě pomocí bdělé meditace. Buddhova kniha o spánku pomáhá zklidnit mysl, odstranit věčný pocit únavy a jak říká autor, usnout hned, jak položíte hlavu na polštář.

Mindfulness meditation is an ancient and, increasingly popular, technique for improving quality of life. Joseph Emet is a qualified practitioner of meditation in Thich Nhat Hanh's tradition. Learn how to reduce stress in the workplace, manage depression and enjoy life. Mindfulness meditation is widely recognised to have a positive impact on mental and physical health, and is supported by the Mental Health Foundation.
Joseph Emet explores the intersection between Positive Psychology--the study of what makes people happy--and the ancient wisdom of Buddhism. Positive Psychology—with its focus not on mental "disease," but rather on what actually makes people happy—has revolutionized the way that we look at mental health. What many people don't realize, however, is that Positive Psychology is not as young a field of inquiry as we think. In fact, according to Joseph Emet, the original positive thinker was the Buddha himself. In this wise and inspiring book, Emet traces the fascinating intersection between the age-old wisdom of Buddhism and the latest scientific research into what makes people happy. In this book readers will discover: * How to replace negative thinking with positive thinking * How to move from frenzied thinking to quiet contemplation * The duty we have to others to live a happy life As Joseph explains in this work, the blue sky of happiness is found just beyond the grey clouds of sadness, everyday concerns, stress, or anxiety. Readers will find that the advice in this book can act as the gentle wind that clears those clouds away.
