Product Description
Review
Soren Gordhamer's brave and smart book on how to stay connected (ie, mindful) while being electronically connected is a must for thosewhose lives tend to be on the virtual side. He's advocating an inward step to a newrelationship with technology that is creative and liberating.--Joan Halifax, abbot, Upaya Zen Center
Product Description
This title offers user-friendly guidance for the millions of people attempting to strike the right balance with computers, mobile phones, blackberrys and ipods. Having traded face-to-face contact for the rush of online communication, technology speaks to, but never quite fulfills, a profound need for connection-in ways that are addictive, but not ultimately satisfying. Worse, utilising such technologies becomes a compulsive action, rather than a creative process-and the resultant stress is likely to impede the very multi-tasking and efficiency that the technology was meant to inspire. Gordhamer brings the wisdom of Eastern meditative practice to calm the frantic anxiety produced by our Western high-speed technoculture.

Wisdom
11 May 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Interesting. Thought provoking insights gleaned from author's life experiences. However, the title promises more than the book actually delivers.
Unusual size and shape of the book makes it attractive as a coffee table item, but less than handy to store with other normal sized books.

A Litte Too Basic For Me; Great For Beginners
12 Aug 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is easy to read and organized very well. As someone who has already done a lot of reading and practicing of buddhism and mindfulness most of the tips were fairly common sense to me. However it consolidated everything into a short, straightforward read for those of you who are short on time.
If you are overwhelmed with your daily dosing of technology and don't know how to deal with it I'd suggest this book. For more advanced mindfulness practitioners you will probably already use a lot of this advice in your daily life anyway.
