Stress and tension are the byproducts of the corporate rat race in which most of the employees are caught nowadays. Peace of mind and contentment are the utmost casualty as one runs after deadlines, sales and targets. How one can be involved and be passionate about one's work and still move on the path of peace, serenity, calm and contentment is what Om Swami's  Mind Full to Mindful is all about.   The author introduces the secret Buddhist attempts to survive the tensions of the modern day life through mindfulness.  A bestselling author of many transformational life-changing books, Swami in this book reveals the art of attaining inner solitude and quietude that can overcome work stress without any rituals or dogma.

Moving the narrative and the teachings of Bodhidharma and Buddha in a very logical, well-structured and engrossing manner, Swami traverses the monks' teachings of Zen with ease and clarity. 

The book can roughly be divided into six parts, the first one being a general introduction about the Zen Transmission and the legend of Bodhidharam. It progresses and divides itself into the forms of Zen Meditation, the Teachings of Zen Sutra, the Four Aspects of Zen, the Four Virtues of a Zen Practitioner and finally, the Four Principles of Zen.  Throughout the book, Swami, walks the reader through different ways of finding inner happiness and solitude by not just focusing on the daily chores but also by improving them with the art of meditation. Based on the original Zen teachings, Mind Full to Mindful is the perfect book especially for the youngsters who are struggling to get rid of stress caused by work, to find that satisfaction and inner solitude in the fast-paced constantly changing world. — Pragatti Oberoi
