Publisher's Summary:

As humans, we are taught how to learn, analyze, and improve, yet we have little training in how to simply be. This book uses stories to illustrate a new possibility for approaching life, one that produces well-being and satisfaction, where upsetting events - even death and loss - don't have to affect one's ability to have a brilliant life.

Keep it handy

Having first read Being Here over two years ago, it has been a pleasure to pick it up again. Each chapter starts with a heading like "Forgiveness and Compassion", subjects I thought I understood, but in these pages, they are defined in new and powerful ways. Instead of focusing on the person I feel I must forgive in order to unburden them, I now see how this act of compassion ultimately serves to lighten my own heart.

Through real life stories artfully retold, the Kane's illustrate the importance of their living-in-the-moment strategies for life and happiness. These simple stories continually remind me how trans formative their work is and continues to be in my life, offering me the chance to see what's right in front of me, enjoying the gift of life in every moment. It's not complicated and does not require a PHD to understand how simple life can be.

I suggest keeping this book handy so that you can read over and over.

The magic you've been looking for

Many of us would love to experience a little more magic in our lives. Our day-to-day routine turns into the "same old, same old," and every so often, we look up and think, "What am I doing with my life?" We'd like an extra helping of adventure, with a healthy dose of romance, and a dash of excitement, please!

Being Here is a book that can help you discover all of that magic -- and even more magic than you ever imagined possible -- in the life that you already have. Ariel and Shya Kane have a way of finding delight in seemingly ordinary, everyday experiences that will cause you to look at your own life from a new angle. The stories in this book are simple and delightful to read. . . but the shift in perspective they can give you is profound. You will begin to notice your own habits and patterns. You'll discover that having a sense of humor in tough situations isn't just a nice concept -- it is possible, and it can make your life effortless.

Lately, it seems like the ideas of "being present" and "living in the moment" have turned into catch phrases and buzzwords. Most of us hear those phrases and think, "Yeah, I know what that is." Blogs, books, TV shows, podcasts. . . You can read and hear people talking about the idea of "living in the moment" just about anywhere.

But I've never seen it approached quite the same way as the Kanes approach it.

They take an age-old and much-talked-about-but-rarely-lived concept, and they make it easy, fun, and very possible. I've read this book a couple of times now. And every so often, I open it up to a random chapter for a quick pick-me-up. I always find that, when I look up from the pages and return to going about my own life, I notice details, sounds, and colors with more clarity and depth. I'm more aware of my emotional triggers. I have more compassion for the people around me.
