Mindful Thoughts for City Dwellers: The Joy of Urban Living

Description

We've come to believe that living in a city is the very opposite of living a mindful life. But this couldn't be further from the truth. Enriching, inventive, ever-evolving, and social, cities are rich with ingredients for sparkling spiritual health. In this beautifully illustrated little book, Mindful Thoughts for City Dwellers leads the reader on a joyful journey through the city. From noticing urban nature to embracing noise as sound, author Lucy Anna Scott shows us how to find a home for the head, and the heart, in the metropolis - humanity's greatest invention.

Lucy Anna Scott has practiced meditation and yoga for over 20 years and is a writer with a passion for people, plants, and places. She has lived in London, UK, for almost two decades (as well as an unhappy six-month stint in the countryside). Lucy co-created Lost in London, an indie magazine celebrating all that is wild, natural, and beautiful about the city. She is also a horticulturist and author of My Tiny Garden (2016), which celebrated creativity in small spaces from Tokyo to San Francisco.
