A great resource book with help on mindfulness and finding calm in the chaos of today. I learned some nice new tips, and revisited familiar old ones. Overall, a nice resource to have on hand.

A solid self-help book on meditation and creating inner calm while setting measurable personal goals. The meditation techniques were straightforward in theory but require practice to master. The section on Wisdom Insights is really the crux of the book and will likely require several read-throughs to capture every nuance. Nothing particularly unique but a lot of great ideas put together in a pleasant package.

This just wasn't for me. It wasn't what I expected — like some other reviewers, I expected less self-help and more meditation and techniques and tips — and the narrative voice felt a bit dry and boring for my taste.

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

As a longtime sufferer of depression and anxiety I appreciate that this was more of a self-help book. It was a fast read with good meditation instructions. The tips and techniques are ones that I will be incorporating in my daily practice.

There's a lot of good ideas and wisdom here. The author is a clear writer and has some worthwhile approaches to our many challenges. I learned some new perspective and was reminded about a number of ideas I should keep in mind. Good meditation instructions as well. Recommended for knowledge seekers. 4.5 stars rounded up.

I really appreciate the advanced copy for review!!

This was an interesting book. I thought the information presented was well laid out and flowed well. I really enjoyed reading it and want to try and start implementing some of what I read.

I was not vibing with the book like others might. there are some recommended resources to look at. Can be helpful for those who want to read more. I think I was expecting more helpful things and not going with interpretations of passages/quotes near the end of the book.

Usually when you read books like this you're prepared to roll your eyes or settle in for long boring spiels that you did not sign up for but you push through because you know there's some good in it, a message that you want to depart with. I mean, you DO want to get your money's worth since you did buy this book right? This book was wonderful. I didn't feel as though I was forcing myself to read some convoluted mess and the techniques that Mr. Miller provided were wonderful and relaxing.

I suffer from depression and anxiety and this summer has been hell, I'm not going to lie. This book was light, funny, and a great guide for meditation and self help. It was a fast read and easy and when it comes out I will buy it for myself because it did help and I could use more than a few of these techniques in my day to day life.

Thank you very much to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this ARC. All opinions are my own.

Sorry for my possible English mistakes!!!
If you love teachings from Buddhism, or from teachers like Anthony De Mello, Ramana Maharshi or even up to some point from Osho...you will treasure this interesting book! For beginner it will open new wonderful world of awareness and for the experienced practitioner it will make clear some advanced considerations about meditation and general approach. Special thing in this book is that one will be able to trace all important stages of spiritual life and then be able to make his/hers own table which will make things more easy and enjoyable for understanding. Read it carefully and you will discover many gems in this text.
Thanks Llewellyn and NetGalley for allowing me to review this awsome book.

The Mindful Place of Calm is a great book with useful information, techniques,and advice. The book is well written and easy to read.

I thought this book was going to be focused more on meditation and mindfulness rather than self-help, but it turned out to be primarily self-help based. I wasn't looking for a self-help book, but set that aside and I would have to say this is a well-written, well-composed and thoughtful work. Its tone is comforting, nonjudgmental and authentic. The tips given on meditative practice are unique and helpful. Four stars.
