The Conscious Choice: 100 Ideas in Living and Leading Mindfully is a collection of 100 simple but powerful mindfulness-based ideas designed to raise your awareness around what can help you make better choices for creating a life of greater happiness, meaning, and fulfilment.

The average person makes 33,000 to 35,000 choices each day. Many of these choices are made automatically and without much thought. We often make them based on an unconscious conditioning about what is good or bad, or right or wrong. Some of these choices are mundane – what do I eat? What do I wear? What task do I check off first from my to-do list? While others are more serious – How do I treat others? What values do I hold in high regard? How do I spend each day in a way that leaves me with a feeling of joy and fulfillment at the end of it? The more choices we can make consciously, keeping our highest goals and values in mind, the more alignment we create between our choices and what we ultimately hope to gain from our lives.

The book contains 100 ideas, each of which is born out of a combination of ancient wisdom and science-based evidence for what is proven to support you in making a more aware and a more informed choice. Each idea serves as a tool for your mindfulness toolkit to live with greater intention, authenticity and joy. Each chapter offers you inspiration and research to make a better choice, and ends with asking you to reflect deeply on how you can make a more conscious choice.
