As a psychiatrist, Brendan Kelly is used to extoling the benefits of a
daily meditation practice, but following his own advice is a different
story. Finding the time to sit quietly every day isn't easy when you're
already trying to juggle a stressful job, a busy family life, a cinema
addiction, a cake habit and low-level feelings of guilt over an unused
gym membership.
But this is the year he is going to do it.
Can he improve his life by meditating for 15 minutes every day? Will it
improve his relationships with his family and patients? And will he ever
be more Zen than Trixie the cat?
The Doctor Who Sat for a Year is a funny, thoughtful and inspiring
book about embracing both meditation and our imperfections.
'An excellent introduction to the path of meditation ... The author
describes both how difficult meditation can be in the face of daily
distractions and, ultimately, how easy it becomes when simple choices
are put in place.' Michael Harding
