    About this ebook

    Game On is a concise examination of mindfulness, the practice of focusing our thoughts on the current moment, and not being overly concerned with the past or the future. The book makes the case for mindfulness as a pragmatic way to reduce stress and to live a life of more contentment: Simply endeavor to live in the moment. So simple to say -- so difficult to do! This book explains how to connect with "now", and gives helpful strategies that can lead to success in making mindfulness a way of life.

    A premise of the book is that mindfulness is deceptively simple and yet difficult to maintain. One's frequent failures to remain mindful lead to giving up the practice. The reader is encouraged to see living in the moment as a game, a strategy that reminds one to approach the 'problem' as a child approaches life -- moment by moment with a sense of play.

    Larry Costner

    Larry Costner is a retired elementary school teacher who now teaches Tai Chi to adults. Tai Chi has a reputation as a means for stress reduction, mostly because of its reliance on using mindfulness - careful attention to the present moment - to affect the mind-body connection. His book, "Game On - The Game of Less Stress and More Contentment", reflects his interest in this topic. His premise is that mindfulness, while difficult to maintain, is worth the effort.
