Elian D. Florentine – författare

Sometimes life doesn't have to be harder than it is. That's pretty much it, really. We just keep forgetting it. The Art of Taking It Easy is a gentle reminder that a simpler way of living is still possible. The book is part meditation guide, part life philosophy, part love letter to easy living, and part argument that the counterculture kids were onto something real, even if the execution was sometimes a bit of a mess. Drawing on years of searching (twenty of them within Buddhism), a life lived across fields, forests and library shelves, encounters with people from every conceivable corner of the world, and a healthy skepticism toward anyone who tells you to optimize yourself, Elian D. Florentine makes the case for a more honest, less complicated way of moving through life.

A year of one-minute meditations for people who want to meditate but feel excluded by traditional approaches. No perfect posture required. No hours of free time. No special equipment or ideal conditions. Just 365 brief practice that meet you wherever you are: stuck in traffic, overwhelmed at work, lying awake at night, or simply trying to get through the day. Some meditations ask you to notice your breath. Some invite you to observe your surroundings. Some are just reminders that you're here, alive. Each takes sixty seconds. This book is for those who are tired, stressed, and living lives that feel like they're happening TO them instead of WITH them. Start anywhere. Read the meditation. Try it for a minute. See what happens.
