This accessible pop culture spin on mindfulness takes quotations and lessons from STAR WARS and pairs them with practices such a breathing, posture, and meditation to help readers engage them in their own lives. ("Do or do not. There is no try." - Yoda) Twenty colour illustrations illuminate the book's thoughtful advice, making it the perfect gift for STAR WARS fans looking for balance, and seekers of inner calm open to learning from the Jedi Masters.

Amy Ratcliffe is the author of Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy. She has written for outlets such as Nerdist, IGN, Star Wars Insider, and StarWars.com, and cohosts the Lattes with Leia podcast. She lives in Los Angeles.

"Ratcliffe has provided a strong list of lessons and bullet-point practices that should help any Star Wars enthusiast find their center by using familiar beats and key moments from the franchise to illustrate her larger point- that we Earth-based human beings can learn a few things about maintaining our own mental well-being by looking to the teachings of the fictional Jedi Order from A Galaxy Far, Far Away." -The Laughing Place The Jedi Mind is part self-care guide, part Star Wars history lesson and all awesome.[It] demonstratesthat author Amy Ratcliffe not only knows the ins and outs of the Star Wars universe, but holds its universal teachings to heart. While all of these teachings feel firmly rooted in all things Star Wars and the Force, they're also well-known and highly effective techniques for self-care.-Sweety High "There are lessons from yoga as well as from Yoda, and married to some beautiful, postcard worthy images from Christina Chung this not only makes a handy, travel-sized manual to ponder on but the perfect stocking filler as the festive season approaches." - Fantha Tracks What Amy Ratcliffe has done, is just brilliant! The words are meaningful, but the advice that comes alongside the Star Wars quotes is for the real world and they resonate so well with our daily lives. This book can give you so much to help restore your well being with its simple messages and positivity. With this in (the Jedi) mind, it is perfect not just for a Star Wars fan, but also anyone else who made need some help at this time.-Jedi News
