'Brian Draper is Britain's foremost popular spiritual thinker; he has no equals in linking the inner with the political and personal outer. This is a remarkably practical exploration of elusive yet core elements of our existence.' - Oliver James
The beauty of mindfulness is that it's incredibly simple both to 'get' and to practise. And the results - increasingly backed by neuro-scientific evidence - are priceless: calmness and reduced stress, more creativity, greater awareness, compassion. . . And yet there's a danger that mindfulness can be used in a purely consumerist and self-serving way to help people to become better adapted cogs in a still-toxic model of work and life.
Brian Draper challenges us to live not just mindfully but soulfully. Not merely to be less stressed, but to flourish, dynamically and creatively - to be present - through living intentionally and compassionately.
Well researched... readable, accessible and user-friendly... I found Soulfulness the ideal treatment for my addiction to smartphones, and possibly to society's focus on a multi-tasking, non-stop working existence. * Families First *
Brian Draper argues in Soulfulness that, beyond learning a few techniques for disconnecting from the real world, we need to learn to live not just mindfully but soulfully. * Church of England Newspaper *
The author challenges us to live not just mindfully, but also soulfully. * Methodist Recorder *
