About this listen
Overwhelmed with insomnia and an incurable autoimmune disease, Shannon Harvey needed to make a change. But while the award-winning health journalist found plenty of recommendations on diet, sleep and exercise, when she looked for the equivalent of a 30-minute workout for her mental well-being, there was nothing.
Also worried for the future mental health of her kids, who were growing up amidst critical levels of stress, anxiety, depression and addiction, Shannon enlisted a team of scientists to put meditation to the test. Could learning to quiet our busy minds be the simple solution the world so desperately needs?
During her year of living mindfully Shannon is poked, prodded, scanned and screened. After a 30,000-kilometre journey from Australia to the bright lights of Manhattan and the dusty refugee camps of the Middle East - interviewing the world's leading mindfulness experts along the way - what begins as a quest for answers transforms into a life-changing experience.
Featuring original interviews and exclusive audiobook only content from the director of the internationally acclaimed documentary of the same name, My Year of Living Mindfully is filled with compelling stories, groundbreaking science and unexpected insights that go to the heart of what it means to be human in the 21st century.

Wasn’t what I thought it was going to be
Parts of the story left me feeling I should have just watched the news. I was looking for uplifting so that’s just me. Loved the chapter on technology addiction.

Well researched, inspiring
Well researched, inspiring and interesting. I have read a lot about mindfulness but Shannon’s explanations resonated with me and for the first time I think I am understanding some of my struggles with meditation. Time to give it another go!
Shannon also has a lovely reading voice.
I highly recommend this audio book.

A must read
I loved this book. For anyone who is interested in the real science behind meditation this is where its at. It has clearly been written and narrated from the perspective of a well informed health journalist.
I enjoyed every minute. I found the author so engaging to listen to as well.
I think we will be hearing more from this writer as she clearly knows her stuff and can't wait for her next book.

Great Work
Easy to listen and good practical techniques to follow. Small changes can make a whole lot of difference but the key is to implement it.

Meh...
I thought this would be more about Shannon's experience & how it changed or effected her day to day life & the effect on her health. But was more about information found in medical journals, from doctors or those who teach mindful meditation. I already know the positive effects meditation can have, but was hoping to hear about someones personal journey, which this book is not. Shannon does a great job with narration but honestly got nothing out of it.
