Mindfulness for Blokes

Cut the Crap, Take Control

De: Chris Thomas

Narrado por: Alan Bloke

Mindfulness isn’t just for yoga mums and hippies—it’s for blokes who want to stop their brains from stitching them up. If you’ve ever overthought a text, lost your rag in traffic, or lain awake replaying that stupid thing you said three years ago, this book is for you.

This book is short ‘cause it doesn’t dick about. No fluff. No nonsense. Just straight-talking, practical mindfulness that actually works. You’ll learn how to:

Shut down stress before it takes over
Stop overthinking and clear your head
Stay cool under pressure
Sleep better and switch off when you need to
React less, respond better, and take control of your own mind

Forget sitting cross-legged on the top field at Glastonbury or chanting in a cave—this is mindfulness for real life. Written by the author channeling Ray Winstone’s Sexy Beast character, Gal Dove, Mindfulness for Blokes gives you the tools to stay sharp, stress less, and take charge of your own headspace.

Because your brain should work for you, not against you.

I purchased this audiobook for my husband and we’ve been listening to it together, I think what he appreciated most is that it left out the usual waffle that comes with explanations of mindfulness. He is starting to implement the advice into his daily life and says he has already noticed a change to his stress levels!
