Product Description We lead busy lives. Lost in a daily routine of to-do lists, responsibilities, and unplanned emergencies is our happiness and peace of mind. While we know that we should live in the present, our minds often take us on a treadmill of regrets about the past and worries about the future. Stressed and drained of energy, we focus on outward things that are supposed to make us happy--and we usually come up empty-handed. In The Practice, you will learn that a wellspring of inner peace and happiness exists inside each one of us and that it is easily accessible with simple techniques that require only minutes a day. Using timeless wisdom and truths from a variety of religions and teachings, author Barb Schmidt has structured an easy-to-implement, three-part daily routine that will guide you to deep happiness, security, and confidence. The Practice fits busy lives because busy lives need it most. Review "Barb Schmidt is a transformational leader who fearlessly shares her authentic truth. In her book, The Practice, Barb offers readers life-changing spiritual guidance in an easy to follow format. What makes this book so magnificent is that Barb has infused her own stories and struggles to help readers connect and learn."-- "Gabrielle Bernstein, New York Times bestselling author of May Cause Miracles" "Barb Schmidt writes in such a gentle, relaxed conversational style that it felt to me as if she were taking me by the hand and introducing me to the world of meditation and spiritual healing that she knows so well. And the quotes are just perfect--introduced at just the right time and in an unobtrusive way. It is a very moving piece of work."-- "Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning American biographer, historian, and political commentator" Barb Schmidt is a transformational leader who fearlessly shares her authentic truth.-- "Gabrielle Bernstein, author of May Cause Miracles"<br
