It’s a story in part of Mumford’s own redemption, of his personal struggle with a powerful addiction and severe negative self-talk issues, or what he refers to as “stinkin’ thinkin”. He shares how he turned it all around, has been clean for 31 years, and has taught what he’s learned. His book is also a guide to living mindfully 24/7, not just when sitting on the cushion. It’s not so much a day-to-day, how-to manual, but general guidelines we can put it into practice, and reminders to help us live more from the heart and with integrity and to go beyond the illusion of separateness–where we’re all interconnected.
