Книга The Gift of Presence: a mindfulness guide for women
A practical guide for women seeking focus and calm in the midst of life’s storms.
Overwhelmed by the demands of family, work, and other responsibilities? You are not alone. Think you don’t have the time to practise mindfulness? Think again. According to Caroline Welch, co-founder and CEO of the Mindsight Institute, you do not need countless hours sitting in silence to be more present in your life — the key is to practice mindfulness wherever you are and whenever you can.
The Gift of Presence guides its readers in becoming more resilient and centred — even when life is throwing all that it has at us.

‘This is an important, eye-opening book for anyone who wants to understand women who feel stressed out, who feel that they must still do more for less, that they and their work are devalued in a world where glass ceilings still abound. With clarity and the testimony of over 100 women she has worked with, author Caroline Welch offers pragmatic mindfulness exercises to discover one’s purpose in life, to summon the courage to change direction if necessary, to set priorities, and to let go of what simply can’t get done in order to cultivate inner peace and harmony.’
