I like Moore's essays, but really wasn't expecting much from this book. However, it arrived when I was in the middle of a mindfulness course and "speaks to my condition" very accurately. I've inhaled the first couple of (short, pithy) chapters, but now I'm going back to the beginning to integrate the two - alternating and seasoning my meditation practice with some work at mindful writing. It is a very pleasant moment of synchronicity in my life.

I highly recommend The Mindful Writer to anyone who has an interest in both writing and meditation. In my case, when this 73 year old student was ready, the perfect teacher appeared to help hone, focus and illuminate my writing life. An unexpected, but very welcome gift.
