Summary of Lidia Zylowska's The Mindfulness Prescription for Adult ADHD

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Attention is our window to the world, and it is attention that allows certain information to stream in and become part of our conscious experience. It is attention that allows us to choose what we see and what we miss. #2 Everyone experiences moments of being mindless or absentminded. We are on autopilot whenever we become absentminded or preoccupied with our thoughts or actions. It often happens in situations that do not require new learning, such as when we are engaged in routine or repetitious activities. #3 Mindfulness is the mental state of paying attention to the present moment. It is a nonjudgmental attitude that allows you to see what is happening around you or inside you with curiosity and acceptance. #4 Mindfulness is the ability to be present in the present moment. It can be turned on or off at will, and it is difficult to maintain it in our daily lives. We must adjust the two key components of mindfulness: attention and attitude.
