I really enjoyed this book, it was an accessible way of creating a meditation practice. Rebekah runs through everything clearly and in a good step-by-step way. she doesn't sit there and tell you that you need all this expensive equipment, in fact, she does the opposite. Definitely a good book to turn to time and time again.

Great idea for a book and really well executed. A thoroughly good read. Highly recommended. .

This was such a long book, although it could easily have been condensed into a short blog post. The author uses personal stories to offer inspiration and then walks you through how to pose, where to sit, when to do, how to breathe, what chakras (sp?) to visualize, etc. for 20+ meditations to do things like get over grief, find love and lose weight. In each case, you get a long winded personal story and then lots of inspirational cheerleading with a smattering of quotes from famous motivational speakers and the bible , then you have some mantras to pick from that you say to yourself for four minutes. Ironically, it takes you a half an hour to read any of these four minute meditations.

I'm in the process of reading through some ARCs of books that I downloaded right before one of my kids had a health crisis, that sat on my Kindle unread. I'm working my way through them to finally give feedback. If not for that, I would not have finished this one. I really had to push myself to keep plodding away at it.

I was torn whether to give 2 or 3 stars, and ultimately rounded up to 3 because it will likely be helpful for people who enjoy this sort of thing and out of guilt for taking so long to review it. This will be a great book for some, but it wasn't for me.

A real honest and inspirational book that gave me a lot of great tools to use in life.

Apologies but I'm not able to review this book. The text as seen on my Nook is fragmented and too difficult to read.

You Have 4 Minutes to Change Your Life by Rebekah Borucki provides detailed descriptions of how to get into meditation poses, briefly explains chakras and offers some personal stories while advocating the ability for anyone to reduce stress by meditating just a few minutes each day. Borucki subtitles her book: "Simple 4-Minute Meditations for Inspiration, Transformation, and True Bliss." She describes meditation for these different purposes and includes many specifics. Early chapters focus on connecting with ease or accepting where you are in the moment (and self-esteem) or for peace and calmness. Later ones deal with easing grief or cultivating gratitude, for example. The author emphasizes that by reading the book and trying meditation you will learn how to handle life's challenges better. The explanations are straightforward and generally helpful; referring to You Have 4 Minutes to Change Your Life in print form would allow the reader to underline and add post-it notes.

I think this book would be great for anyone wishing to start a meditation practice and not just those who think they don't have enough time. It really felt like a friend talking me through every aspect of the meditation process.

If I had one regret it was that I was reading this on kindle and what I really would have wanted was a physical book that I could refer to and put sticky markers in the pages. I have now ordered a paperback copy as it will work better for me.

I found this book quite helpful especially the techniques for meditation that were provided.

Meditation is a powerful life changer and this book gets you well on the path! Great info without being preachy or pedantic and most importantly...INTERESTING!

This was a very interesting read. It is part self help meditation and part auto biography, a interesting read. This is a time of year where many of us look and do our best to start over, live life better and gain control of our own happiness. This book is a great motivation tool for anyone looking to add meditation to their repertoire. I enjoyed reading it and I truly do believe that in taking time for self care you really can change the way you look at your life.
