Publisher's summary

Mindfulness meets the modern world with this collection of tongue-in-cheek chants for those daily moments that drive us insane.

For all of us who've crammed yoga, meditation, and self-care into our lives, there's just one thing missing on our daily slog toward serenity: a laugh. With rainbow-free visualizations ripped from real life, Very Modern Mantras will have you mastering the meditations that really matter, like "Mantra for Starbucks", "Mantra for the Airport Security Line", "Mantra for Open-Plan Office", and "Mantra for Public Transportation". Finally, a way to find inner peace without losing your sense of humor.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Hilarious! Falling over laughing!

I split my sides laughing!
The oh-so-solemn voice of the narrator was perfect. He ridiculed our endless quest for enlightenment and fulfillment by looking in all the wrong places, such as by finding "mindfulness" (Ha!) in an endless line at Starbucks, or by gazing into infinity and our smartphones at the same time. Don't lose your sh** or your serenity! Do you need a good laugh? This will do the job.
