Introducing

SLO Living: A New Approach to Mindfulness 

Think you know mindfulness? Think again. SLO Living: A New Approach to Mindfulness is the provocative and refreshingly simple guide that redefines what it means to be truly present. 

Author Alyssa Nyen takes a bold look at the calm, curated version of mindfulness you’ve heard about and turns it upside down, revealing that real focus and peace don't come from disregarding your thoughts, but from truly understanding them. 

Blending neuroscience, lived experience, and contemplative practice, Nyen shows that thoughts and emotions aren't distractions—they're the doorway to insight and powerful personal development.
