Review from Publisher’s Weekly

“Romanelli, a Yahoo! blogger and co-founder of a “progressive” Phoenix, Ariz. yoga studio, shares his Zen approach to happiness in this guide to the care and feeding of a live-the-moment lifestyle: “Everyday, if you can enjoy one delicious moment…you will soon recognize a meaningful life is no further away than a box of chocolates… your walk to work, and a little… laughter.” With an informal voice and a game sense of humor, Romanelli shares encounters from his own life—visiting a psychic, lessons learned from a toy poodle—that each come to worthy conclusion, reinforcing his point that peace comes from observation and appreciation, not money or “the view from your balcony.” Though a balcony might seem to be a good spot for reflection, Romanelli charges through such minor contradictions, advocating exercises like a daily “spring cleaning” of the mind, and engineering “Now Point” memories—”the moments that stand out in your mind… when change happens, where paths intersect”—using the power of the senses. This lighthearted overview of awareness should provide seekers many ideas; accomplished yogis probably need not apply, though they should enjoy Romanelli’s enthusiasm: “A moment, thoroughly enjoyed, takes you drifting through the past, sailing across the present, coasting into the future.”
