This was a difficult book to review. Most books are read over a few days depending on the length of the book, how interesting it is, how much free time one has available. This book, however, is meant to be read over a year, reading a page or so a day. After reading the page, one should pause and reflect on the comments as part of your mindful practice.

I did try and follow this for a few days, but it felt odd for a couple of reasons, One, it’s June, and the book starts in January, so I was starting either in the middle of the book or in a very different season. The other is that this is one of the few books that I think would work best as a physical copy instead of an e-book as for me, part of being mindful is disconnecting from digital devices.

Still, I liked the idea and am planning on getting a physical copy of this book.

This book provides a simple, quick, and easy way to be mindful every day. With daily thoughts and activities (referred to as "invitations") there is something every day of the year. The readings are short and very easy to read first thing in the morning or the night before. I have found this book a great addition to my morning routine.

This book sounds wonderful, and I was really looking forward to working with it, but I did not have a chance to download it. I'm sorry.

A Mindful Year is a good book for a quick practice of Mindfulness everyday. If you think you are too busy to practice Mindfulness this is a quick way to do it by reading lot everyday.

This book is perfect for someone who needs a small daily dose of mindfulness. It does not take a lot of start practising mindfulness and the daily inspiration will stay with you for the rest of the day as you continue with your daily life.
Thank you NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a daily devotional-type book, which is rather difficult to read through, but I did dip in throughout. I didn't find the entries very inspirational or helpful. Possibly it requires a different frame of mind.
