Summary: Stopping: A Survival Skill for the New Century
Review: This book is a wonderful way to introduce the concept of meditation as a part of life without ever calling it meditation. I'll be using it with all my clients who are reluctant to try meditation for fear it won't fit with their lifestyles. Kundtz succeeds in clearly describing the benefits of "stopping" and noticing, even for a few moments, and does this in language that is accessible to everyone. "Stopping" is an essential survival skill in our crazy, hectic lives. I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels they are living their lives running faster and faster, like hamsters on a wheel. "Stopping" teaches how to begin to get off the wheel in a way that fits into our lives.

Summary: Stopping--super self-help
Review: This is an excellent self-help book! Forget the complexity of everything else, keep it simple, and learn to just STOP! This book was incredibly helpful, and I want to assure anyone that it "works"! Some readers (especially if you're mainly a "concrete thinker") might not find this book helpful. You have to open your mind a bit. Which is fun! For those who like to live "in the spaces in between" - to use one of Kundtz's favorite metaphors - there is great value in this book--and great value in the price, too! :-)

Summary: Stopping
Review: With all due respect to the precious author's time he spent writing this book - I think this book has not that much to offer to the "hungry", knowledge striving people.
It has a lot of nothing and it is incredibly impossible to get author's points from his chapter filled up with other people's quoatations. Even the quotes were not appropriate to the text in any particular chapter. So...before you spend your hard earned money and your precious time STOP and have a second thought before you decide to buy it.
Simply read the first few pages and you'll get to know what am I talking about.
