From Flow, the groundbreaking international ‘magazine that takes its
time,’ comes the first big book in a publishing partnership that celebrates
mindfulness, creativity, beautiful illustration, a love of paper, and
life's little pleasures.
A Book That Takes Its Time is both a book about mindfulness and a book that
literally inspires mindfulness. It's like a meditation retreat between two
covers. You can't hurry through it; it's the anti-page-turner. Read an article
on the benefits of journalling-then come to ‘The Joy of One Thing at a Time
Notebook’ tucked into the book. An essay on the power of being grateful is
followed by pages of illustrated ‘Beautiful Moments’ cards to fill in, punch
out, save, and revisit. Readers will learn hand-lettering, the basics of
collaging, even how to meditate while running. There's never been a book like
A Book That Takes Its Time, a book that mixes reading and doing, to help
readers live a more thoughtful life and have so much fun in the process.
