An excellent book that presents both the principles and practices of mindfulness. I loved how Matt wove his personal story into his teachings. He provides a step by step guide into progressively deeper experiences of the freedom and peace that comes in liberating awareness from the prison of overthinking.

I enjoyed Matt Tenney's book "Inspire Greatness" and was excited to read (listen to) his newest offering. Having the author read their own work can be a gamble, one that fortunately succeeded here! While listening to the author, Matt, read his own words it is easy to connect with his message and the tools he offers in each chapter. He presents his story with candor and humor, connecting with the reader through his direct and authentic voice. This book, like his last one, is full of useful exercises and free resources- helping the reader gently transition into the world of mindfulness and self-awareness. Thank you for helping me find multiple exercises that work for me!

★★★★★ An Inspiring Guide to Lasting Peace and Awareness

The Magic of Mindful Self-Awareness is an engaging guide to understanding and practicing mindfulness in a way that feels both transformative and approachable. In recent years, interest in mindfulness and meditation has grown significantly, but many people find it challenging to maintain the habit. We often feel as though we are “failing” at the practice or find ourselves overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and negative thought patterns, making it difficult to dedicate time to our practice. Tenney addresses these common challenges directly, providing a straightforward, step-by-step process that anyone can adopt to enjoy the many benefits mindfulness offers. What truly sets this book apart is Tenney's personal narrative, which is woven throughout its pages. His extraordinary life journey—from spending time in prison to living as a monk, and now as a socially conscious entrepreneur—adds depth, authenticity, and inspiration to his teachings. His storytelling is engaging and illustrates the transformative power of mindfulness when applied in real-world situations. Readers will find this book both practical and uplifting. It is ideal for anyone seeking to break free from the overwhelm of stress and self-doubt and begin experiencing the lasting peace and clarity that mindfulness can provide.
