With a Single Breath: The Complete Path of Mindfulness

Practice mindfulness as a complete, transformative path that expands and deepens its benefits to all aspects of our lives and society.

Includes more than 50 practices from renowned teachers such as Jon Kabat-Zinn, Tara Brach, Thich Nhat Hanh, Rhonda Magee, Diana Winston, Daniel Goleman, Sharon Salzberg, and many others.

With a Single Breath is the first book to introduce a step-by-step framework for practicing mindfulness as a comprehensive path of life. Through five essential keys—Mindfulness Meditation, Insight, Love and Compassion, Ethics, and Community—Melvin McLeod draws on the wisdom of forty years of meditation practice to present a ground-breaking approach that deepens and expands how mindfulness is defined, practiced, and lived. Starting with the simple practice of being present, he explains how these five keys work together to help you discover your natural goodness, develop deeper awareness, and create meaningful connections in an increasingly disconnected world. Based on universal human qualities and aspirations, not tied to any particular religion or philosophy, the Complete Path of Mindfulness is accessible to everyone and brings out the best in who we are as human beings.

The book includes more than 50 practices to benefit all aspects of your life from renowned mindfulness teachers such as Tara Brach, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Diana Winston, Thich Nhat Hanh, Sharon Salzberg, Kristin Neff, Christopher Germer, Mark Coleman, Trudy Goodman, Susan Piver, Rick Hanson, Rhonda Magee, Pema Chödrön, Joan Halifax, and Dr. Robert Waldinger.
