I think if people who knew me saw my bookshelf right now, they’d think I’d lost my mind. </p> <p>In the past week, I have purchased, <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/10738/9780307347312">The Joy of Living</a>, <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/10738/9780385527071">Confessions of an Atheist Buddhist</a>, to name two of eight new books, and I just finished <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/10738/9780807012390">The Miracle of Mindfulness</a>.</p> <p>To start, no, I am not yet another white dude claiming to be Buddhist and walking around with prayer hands to everyone I see. That said, I am looking to many Buddhist practices around mindfulness, greatly inspired by Dan Harris’s book, <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/10738/9780063356474">10% Happier</a>. </p>
